The National Union of Ghana students has confirmed reports from the Czech Republic on how one of its members was treated on suspicion of having the Ebola virus.
What crime does one commit by going overseas to further his education? We strongly believe education is a right and not a privilege and we will forever stand by this belief.
The International Relations Secretariat of the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) further confirmed that as a result of the suspicions, further test which was carried on the said student eventually proved negative.
We are very perturbed by this unfortunate news and would want to use this medium to register our utmost displeasure on how the said student was treated.
We believe the way he was treated on a mere case of suspicion was utterly wrong and unacceptable. Anyone having gone through this situation will be emotionally shattered and that might jeopardize his/her academic progress.
To that effect, we are urging the Ghanaian mission in the Czech headed by Hon. Zita Okaikoi to pursue this matter to its logical conclusion in order to prevent future occurrences.
We are also by this notice praying on the mission to make sure that our colleague is duly apologized to and compensated accordingly.
NUGS would also like to use this medium to advise all and sundry to be very cautious in their day to day dealings so as to protect themselves from the deadly Ebola virus.
Long Live NUGS
Long Live Ghana.
