What is happening at KNUST is unacceptable. This is what happens when you continually disregard students’ voice… I’m not in support of any vandalism of school properties .. it is stupid! But Ghanaian University authorities abuse students everyday!

Dear KNUST students, please be measured in your protest.
Stop destroying school property. That is unacceptable.

My dear KNUST students, violence is not the best way to vent your anger. I understand your frustrations but please cease the destruction of properties and allow the Police and the authorities in charge to handle the issue and restore calm. #KNUSTcrisis. pic.twitter.com/aUcBvKk9y5

The KNUST authorities are treating the students with the same disrespect school authorities across #Ghana treat students. It’s not new or surprising because oppression is a popular tool for Ghanaian adults in power who think the governed have no agency.
