Ghanaian Universities Not Immune To Strikes – Adamafio

Prior to the late 60s and early 70s, when most African countries were already savouring their independence from the colonial administrators, the prospects of University education within the African continent was very high but with the dynamics in politics, social and economic factors, the situation took a worse turn for most of the independent nations, In this interview with selected journalists from Nigeria who recently undertook an assessment tour of Universities in Ghana, NAA ADAMAFIO, Dean of International Programmes at the premier University of Ghana, Legon, gives us an insight into Ghana’s education system with its fair share of challenges in maintaining quality educational system, INNOCENT OWEH was part of the visiting team.

As Dean of International Programmes at the University of Ghana, Legon, how do you attract foreign students and what percentage of students do you attract annually?

As Dean of international programmes it is my responsibility to market the university internationally to attract international students to the university.

My office is charged with the responsibility of increasing that number.

In addition to this, we work to provide opportunities for our own students to gain international exposure, so all of that is part of the mandate of the international office which I head.

We are primarily responsible for the welfare of international students during their stay at

LASU Is The Most Expensive Public University – ASUU

Barely four weeks after university lecturers under the auspices of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) called-off their five months strike, lecturers of the Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, have threatened a showdown with the university Management over issues bordering on welfare, facilities and tuition fees.

The union alleged that several letters written and meetings with the Management, Governing Council and the Lagos State Executive Council Ad-hoc Committee have failed to address the issues, noting that danger lies ahead for the long-term prosperity of the university, if nothing is done.

In a reaction, the Management expressed dismay over the union’s threat, saying it is a ploy to impede the progress made by the two years old administration of Professor John Obafunwa, the Vice Chancellor.

The university spokesman, Dr. Sola Fosudo, said most of the issues raised by ASUU-LASU had been discussed and resolved. Fosudo wondered why the union is coming up again with the issues at a point it should be the concern of stakeholders to contribute meaningfully towards the growth of the university.
