Professor Samuel Sraku-Lartey, President of the Presbyterian University College (PUC), has urged its students not to get involved t in any political violence in the run up to the December elections.
He said in as much as the school could not restrain them from politics, they should be mindful of the fact that violent acts in the name of politics was inimical to the institution and the nation's democratic credentials in general.
He said the school has sanctions for any indiscipline act either on campus or outside the school's premises and political violence involving any of its students would not be an exception.
Speaking at a Church service to mark the PUC Day at the Akropong Christ Presbyterian Church, he said the Presbyterian Church had a tradition of discipline and it was expected that every student within its institution exhibited such values.
The PUC day was instituted three years ago by the Akuapem Presbytery to support the Akuapem campus of the university and had since been used to raise funds for developmental projects for the school.
This year, the focus of the day was to raise funds for the stocking of the school's library and continuation of the school’s projects such as a hostel facility.
In a sermon to mark the day on the theme "Christ Opens the Eyes of the Blind", Reverend Isaac Adu-Okoree, a lecturer at the University, said Christ was the centre of the world and without him every life venture, be it politics, business or education was worthless.
He said it was high time that people recognized that without God, nothing could be possible and urged all persons irrespective of their background to be conscious of God to guide them in all their endeavors for the benefit of humanity.
Rev Adu-Okoree in reference to the blind Batimeaus in the Bible, said as a nation, Ghanaians ought to be specific in asking what they wanted from God and must demonstrate their trust in him.
He urged the students to desist from all violent acts and not allow any person to use them to foment trouble.
