The executive body of the Students' Representative Council has indeed been saddened by the event of last night. Our hearts painfully aches as we reflect on yesterday's tragedy (Gas explosion) and we stand with all those who were directly or indirectly affected by this mayhem.

The aforementioned event has rekindled and confirmed fears already harboured by the students populace regarding the possible threat of the Sel filling station which is just a few meters from the premises of our beloved institution.
We would like to state that we share in these sentiments but will like to call on all students to support the SRC with full force in this time of turmoil so that we can effectively and permanently deal with the issue at hand.
We would like to categorically state that we will not rest until we permanently resolve this issues and we will call on all student leaders and indeed all students on campus to also come on board and let us do this right.
We are therefore sending this strong signal to the management of the Sel filling station, EPA, NPA and the La Nkwantanan Municipal Assembly that if measures are not taken to close down the filling station, we the students of UPSA will be forced to
protect our lives by embarking on an intensive demonstration that will compel the Sel filling station to be closed with immediate effect.
We therefore employ all students to vehemently stand behind the SRC as we follow due processes for our grievance to be addressed properly.
All students should therefore prepare to hear and support the SRC executive council with the decision we will be making tonight on this matter.
This we believe will only be possible together.
Long live the SRC
Long live UPSA
And May The Good Lord Bless Us All.
Signed:
Oha Evans
SRC Vice President.

Ghana's former president John Dramani Mahama is set to resume his book tour for his highly talked about autobiography, My First Coup D’état: Memories from the Lost Decades of Africa, across Africa.

In 2012, ex-president Mahama (then Vice President) published his book, My First Coup D’état and concluded a four-city launch programme in the United States of America. The main launch of the book took place at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, New York on Tuesday, 10th July, 2012.
Following a successful and well-organized book-singing tour in four cities including New York, Washington DC, Houston and Los Angeles in the U.S.A, then Vice President Mahama planned together with his team to launch the book in major cities in Ghana- Accra, Kumasi, Ho, Tamale, etc.
However, these launch programmes were suspended when the leadership role of this country fell in his laps after the sudden passing of President John Atta-Mills on 24th July, 2012, and later successfully won his substantive term as president of Ghana.
Months after unsuccessful second term bid in Ghana's 2016 presidential election, Mr Mahama is set to embark on a launch and book-signing tour across Africa.
Speaking at a his book reading at the University of Ghana, Legon organised by the English department and the New York University, ex-president Mahama announced that plans are underway to launch in Nairobi, Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria.
"We have plan also to go to East Africa to launch in Nairobi, Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria," Mr Mahama said.
He read excerpts from the book and also shared with the audience his experiences and memories of life as a young kid in the 1960s.
Tuesday’s book reading was attended by former ministers of State, some known NDC party members, students of University of Ghana.
