University students in Ghana are wailing over the strike action by the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) after they said they paid exorbitant tuition and hostel fees.
A press release signed by Kofi Geogr Abuah, Convener of the Coalition of Concerned University Teachers said on Wednesday January 19 that “We want to tell government that University students are suffering!! Medical students are suffering, business administration students are suffering, nursing students are suffering, international students are suffering, computer science students are suffering, engineering students are suffering, Agricultural students are suffering, student entrepreneurs are suffering and even psychology students are SUFFERING!!!
“It’s unfair to us, university students to pay exorbitant tuition and hostel fees at this early stage of the academic calendar just to see our lecturers embark on such an indefinite industrial strike. Already, COVID-19 has been an albatross on our neck and disrupted our learning and academic procedures.
