Story: Rose Hayford Darko, Tema

The Methodist University College of Ghana (MUCG), Tema campus, has launched its week-long Students Representative Council (SRC) celebrations in Tema, on the theme “Moving from success to significance.”
This was preceded by the election of a four-member executive which has Nana Obrempong Owusu as President, Ms Abena Agyarkoa as Secretary, Mr Moses Yeboah as Treasurer and Ms Peace Ofori as the Women’s Commissioner.
The Chief Manager for Trade, Marketing and Sales Support of the Ghana Telecommunications Company Ltd., Mr Patrick Otieku-Boadu, who performed the launch called on students in institutions of higher learning to start a revolution that will bring progress to the nation.
He observed that institutions of higher learning had been silent and not made the desired impact, and that there was the need for change.
As mature people, he said they must identify their talents to bring about change in the society.
Mr Otieku-Boadu noted that students would need to be creative to tap the resources and opportunities associated with progress, and advised them to make reading a habit and not only for examinations in order to acquire adequate knowledge.
He urged them to leave a legacy by relating their studies to everyday life to change the system.
Mr Otieku-Boadu said that the SRC was important because it had provided opportunities for students to come together to seek their own welfare.
The Vice-Principal of the MUCG, Mr Joshua Kuduadzi, challenged the students to make a difference, avoid being complacent and rather work towards achieving success in future.
The celebration has programmes such as lectures, games and trips to tourist sites.
The SRC President urged the students to put away all differences and support the elected executives, saying as pioneer executives, they needed wisdom, foresight and commitment to provide a good leadership.
