Ghanaian Security analyst Adid Sani has urged Ghanaian Universities to be strict and tough in the administration of tertiary education institutions. He said, Universities must ensure there is high disciplinary measures in place for those who goes contrary to the institutions lay down rules.
Sani was making references to recent clashes amongst students in some of the Ghanaian Universities, he spoke with Ghanaian base Radio station Starr fm on Friday afternoon.
“So we need to uproot the problem, banning school processions doesn’t mean you are ensuring discipline. We are only denying them the opportunity to exhibit indiscipline. So why don’t we deal with the substance of the matter? Fight the indiscipline by nipping it in the bud, the cycle of impunity that has been allowed to go on for some time now.
“During our time at the University, I think we witnessed two clashes so these have been there for years and we keep doing this same thing over and over again. The fact that it is still ongoing is only suggestive of one thing, our approach is not working,” the security analyst added.
Backround to this is the clashes between residents of the Continental and the University Halls last night at Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi.
Ghanaian Police command in the area were deployed to restore calm later in the night.
