Tpoly students advised to return to
campus
Accra, July 4, GNA - The Takoradi Polytechnic Students
Committee for Peace on Wednesday advised students of the
Polytechnic to return to campus and prepare for the end of
semester examination scheduled to begin on July 9.
It said it would be in the interest of the students to
return to campus since the Polytechnic authorities would
conduct the examinations irrespective of the number of
students present on campus.
A release signed by Mr Kwabena Ofosu, Chairman of the
Committee and Mr Frank Addo, Spokesperson for the Committee,
said the directive was necessary because the Polytechnic
Council had cleared the Principal of the Takoradi
Polytechnic, Dr Obeng Apori, of all allegations levelled
against him by the students.
"We are aware of the fact that the appointment and removal
of the Principal is the sole prerogative of the appointing
authority and not that of the students," it said.
The Student Committee for Peace said it would resist any
attempts by GNUPS to blackmail students of Takoradi
Polytechnic into not writing the examination as part of its
orchestrated campaign to remove the Principal of the
Polytechnic.
It expressed regret and disappointment that the current
impasse had cost the first and second year students the
opportunity to be placed for industrial attachment which
constituted an important aspect of the examination grading
system.
It had also adversely affected the process of registering
third year students for National Service.
