The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), the umbrella students' body in Ghana, has elected new executives to steer its affairs for the 2012/2013 academic year.
This is contained in a statement signed by Andrews Kofi Gyan, President and Louisa Atta-Agyemang, Genearl Secretary of the students' union, copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Accra.
It indicated that the rest of the national executive committee members included Precious Asieduaa Gyan, Treasurer, Naziru Iddriss, Co-ordinating Secretary, Adwoa Amoaniwaa Owusu, Press and Information Secretary, and Mary Akorli Mwuwornu, Women's Commissioner.
The others were Eric Boakye Danquah, Financial Controller, Patrick Nkansah, Programmes and Project Secretary, Eugene Ackom-Damtey, Education and Democratisation Secretary, and Seth Odame-Mensah, International Relations Secretary.
The statement said the new NUGS leadership was elected at a national delegate's congress on September 8, 2012 in Accra, after the one scheduled for August, 2012, in Kumasi, ended abruptly because of confusion due to alleged political interference from the two leading political parties - the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party.
