Some union members have raised questions about the legitimacy of Botchway’s continued leadership, with critics arguing that his tenure extension may not be in the best interest of NUGS and its members. This controversy has sparked concerns about the union’s governance and the need for transparency and accountability.
Botchway’s Achievements
Despite the controversy, Botchway has made significant strides as NUGS President:
– Advocacy for Students: He has championed student welfare, advocating for scholarships, improved campus infrastructure, and mental health support.
– Representation on GETFund Board: Botchway’s appointment to the GETFund Board of Trustees ensures student voices are represented in policy decisions.
– Student Loan Trust Fund: He has commended the government’s release of GH¢100 million to the Students Loan Trust Fund, describing it as “historic and unprecedented”.
The Way Forward
As NUGS navigates this challenging period, it’s essential for the union to prioritize transparency, accountability, and good governance.
