The University of Winneba Education is currently closed following violent protests on Thursday.
This follows a stalemate between the students and the vice-chancellor, the Reverend p. Professor Anthony Afful-Broni on the dismissal of three speakers.
The students went on a rampage and broke the windows and glbad doors of the buildings on the Winneba campus.
On Wednesday night, they burned tires and clashed with the police, reported Richard Kwadwo Nyarko of Joy News.
Announcing the decision to close the school, the Central Regional Minister, who chairs the Regional Security Council (REGSEC), said: "Every day that pbades, the level of insecurity [on campus] increases… "
What began as a normal student protest Tuesday rose on Wednesday, as students from the North Campus disrupted clbades and moved to replicate the same movement on the central campus.
They were prevented from entering the South Campus by police reinforcements on Wednesday afternoon. But the students only retired to resume distractions on Wednesday night.
"So, in the opinion of the Regional Security Council, we can not continue to allow the university to sit," Kwamena Duncan said.
Students have until Thursday at 6 pm to leave the campus, the minister added.

Professor Anthony Afful-Broni, despite resistance to his candidacy, was elected vice-chancellor. Under his leadership, some 30 teachers and non-teaching staff members were Association of University Teachers of Ghana (UTAG).
The badociation has expressed its fears, a culture of silence is spreading throughout the campus. But the dismissal of three speakers seems to have broken the perceived silence.

In addition, the local president of the Association of University Teachers of Ghana (UTAG), Dr. Frimpong Kakyire Duku, was fired after taking legal action against his employer "without cause" and without exhausted internal procedures.
Emmanuel Osei Sarpong, alumni representative on the University Council, was sacked for disrespecting the university council and not supporting his decisions.
