Visibly agitated students were singing loudly "Something is happening! Something is about to happen! "In order to denounce" injustice "at the University of Winneba Education, in the central region.

Director of the College of Languages Education in Ajumako Professor Ephraim Avea Nsoh was sacked for he had not cooperated with other members of the management, reported the Daily Graphic.
The local president of the Association of University Teachers of Ghana (UTAG), Dr. Frimpong Kakyire Duku, was fired after taking legal action against his employerwithout cause "and without exhausting internal procedures.
Dr. Emmanuel Osei Sarpong, former alumni president who represented the elders on the university board, was dismissed on the grounds that he would have shown a sign of disrespect towards the university board, deciding to exclude it from the board meeting. said was about to make a decision with which he was not comfortable.
Unaffected by a dysfunctional CRS, the students primarily taught by these speakers borrowed the viral power of the #bringback hash tag. This time #bringbackourlecturers.
Students are not the only ones to have their opinion on layoffs.
The Association of University Teachers of Ghana supported the students. Their representative on campus, Dr. Frimpong Kakyire Duku, is the victim of the Vice Chancellor sworn in March 2018.
Dr. Eric Opoku, National President of UTAG, was present when students barked on campus.
His presence plays the role of tacit approval of student actions as the Association prepares its own response.
The preliminary answer, however, is that "we, as a national body, do not recognize the decision taken by this university".
He explained that the university had refused to recognize the September 15 election of new members of the UTAG-UEW Branch, led by Mr. Duku.
In November 2017, the High Court of Winneba canceled the elections of the UTAG of September 15, 2017, during which Dr.Duku became president of the UEW section of the UTAG.
The Winneba High Court victory however was victorious for 15 months, with a court of appeal having completely overturned this judgment, paving the way for Mr Duku's return with his group of executives.
A new stumbling block has again been launched against Dr. Duku, sworn critic of Vice Chancellor Rev. Professor Anthony Afful-Broni.

An emergency meeting convened by the Vice Chancellor suddenly took place on campus and resulted in Mr. Duku being dismissed without notice.
He would not hear any of the UTAG's exhortations contained in a letter asking the university to accept the latest judgment rendered on February 25, 2019.
Dr. Duku, who strikes the vice-chancellor, is now unemployed.
Look, we know what's going on. There is clearly an attempt to ensure that Dr. Kaakyire Duku does not consider himself a UTAG leader as they know what he can do. "
The UTAG national is not opposed to what is called a national strike when it feels an infringement of academic freedom in one of its branches and will do "all that is necessary for justice to prevail in this university "Threatened Dr. Ernest Opoku.
The students turned against the vice-chancellor, UTAG lacerating his shoes against the vice-chancellor. Another opposition came from the most unlikely source: tAfenyo Markins, ally of the Vice Chancellor.
At the inauguration of the vice-chancellor of the STE, Afenyo Markins congratulates his friend.
It was Markins who led a lawsuit to remove the then vice chancellor, Prof. Mawutor Avoke, from the prosecution, accusing him of signing dubious agreements.
The beneficiary of this action, which the university did not really recover, was Rev. Professor Anthony Afful-Broni who was a Vice Chancellor.
Markins returned against Professor Afful-Broni, announcing the cancellation of this marriage of reason on social networks. The reason, a dusty reason used to remove Professor Avoke.
"How can Afful-Broni crucify Avoke for awarding contracts irregularly and, after bringing in, to enforce the same contracts and pay more money? Was the motive simply necessary to take over by any means? ", He published on his Facebook page.
He then posted a photo of himself posing with UTAG leaders, including national president Eric Opoku.
The photo illustrating the two resistance forces against the vice-chancellor does not reflect the context. A year ago, lawyer Markins, backed by the university authorities, successfully challenged UTAG UEW elections in front of Winneba High Court until a court call cancel.
The photo thus cemented the sentence: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
The Vice Chancellor now faces three sources and forces of resistance: the students, the lecturers and the former ally.
It is not so that the ordained Catholic priest can contain three sources of opposition barely a year after his appointment to the post of Vice Chancellor.
The students wrapped up their protest by chanting, "Something is about to happen! Something is about to arrive! "
