SRC president of the University of Ghana, Esinam Afi Seade, has withdrawn her comments on the maintenance fee of GHC 50 in the four new halls.
Esinam Afi Seade earlier this week in an interview onCampus Exclusive said it is ideal for students to pay the proposed maintenance fee of GHC 50 by students in the four new halls next semester. But in a statement signed by Esinam Afi Seade and sighted by Univers News, the president denied endorsing the 50ghc charge.
The initial comments by the SRC President did not go down well with some students of the University of Ghana, with some claiming the comments were not in the interest of students.
She however mentioned that her administration is committed to supporting the various junior common rooms (JCRs) and also working in the interest of students.
She further called on all students of the University of Ghana to remain calm, while the SRC engage the University management on the issue.
Below is the full statement.
The SRC’s STAND ON THE MAINTENANCE FEES
Earlier speculations arrived at my desk concerning the maintenance fees the hall managements want to levy on students.
As an SRC we called the Jcr executives to ask what exactly the negotiations were.
It was agreed that since the management has their way of maintaining the facilities, the best thing is to continue with that process.
The agreement that is in question had to do with we all (JCR AND SRC) deciding on letting the hall management look into the residential fees and finding ways of making room for maintenance since there already exists a component for that purpose.
We called a meeting with the hall masters of the four halls and asked that they sit back on the issue.
We tabled that they try as much as they can to toggle around the residential fees that students pay in order to make room for maintenance.
I therefore want to state clearly that I have not “backed any subtle move of hall managements” concerning any bills.
Our duty is to come in to support the various Jcrs in fighting for students interest in times when matters if this nature arises.
The SRC has not agreed to let students pay for GHC 50 separate fees for maintenance of facilities.
We humbly ask that everyone calm down as we wait on the management to tell us on their final resolution.
Signed.
