UTG students chanted ‘enough is enough’ on Friday as they took to streets to demand an end to lecturers and management of the university taking them for a ride.
“We are pushed to the wall and we were left with no option but to act as paddlers of our own canoe,” students’ leader Ousman Jassey said during the protest at the UTG on MDI.
“We remain very firm and solid on their immediate implementation without any further negotiation. And unless and until these demands are met, we reiterate that we will boycott all lectures,” he added.
UTG management and staff have been at war over the way the UTG should be run including a new governing council and chairman. Staff have since on Monday commenced a sit-down strike and students have gotten caught up in the conflict
During the protest, the students made key demands including reduction of tuition fee, buses, resolution of missing grades and immediate expulsion of all underperforming lecturers.
