We won't pay utility bills – National Students Union

The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has given government a two-day ultimatum to revoke its decision to pass on the full cost of utility bills to public universities and other tertiary institutions.
In an interview with Citi News, NUGS president, Samuel Darkwa Binfoh, said: “The government should come out and withdraw that letter it wrote to ECG, we gave them two weeks and the two weeks ends on this very Thursday.”
Meanwhile Government has directed public tertiary institutions and state agencies to pay the full cost of their utility bills. But tertiary students are kicking against the move saying it will burden them financially.
Binfoh added: “Things are difficult in the nation to the extent that the government itself has come out to say that things are not going well. How much more our parents who are sitting by the road side selling and using their meagre income to take care of us to come to school?”
He indicated that NUGS will eventually demonstrate if the government does not heed to their call.
