FRANK OWUSU ASSURES STUDENT BUSINESSES OF FUNDING, SAYS HE WILL SLASH SRC EXECUTIVES AND APPOINTEES ALLOWANCES

 I WILL SLASH SRC EXECUTIVES AND APPOINTEE ALLOWANCE BY HALF AND USE THE MONEY TO FUND STUDENTS' BUSINESSES




I know this is a bold statement. I know I risk losing some supporters and team members because of this. I know naysayers will start their usual castigations. But I took my inspiration from the former President of Ghana, his Excellency John Evans Atta Mills (May his soul rest in perfect peace). He never took his Presidential salary when he was in office. He rather donated to the children's home, every month, consistently for the four (4) years he stayed in office.


They say leadership is a cause and all other things are effect. They say the best form of leadership is democratic. But I believe the only form of leadership that appeals to me is Leadership by example.



Every student pays an SRC dues of 35 cedis. Multiply that by about the 78, 000 students we have as an institution and we are clocking an amount of Ghc 2,730,000 in the SRC account every academic year. The question I ask is that how much of such money directly benefit you?


With as low as Ghc 500, a student can get a fully-functional, dynamic, easy-to-manage and responsive start-up that can strengthen his or her entrepreneurial skills and help sustain their lives in and after school.


So then, my proposition is this, if SRC and its leadership spends say averagely 200,000cedis as allowance and we slash it by half to support students' enterprises with 500cedis each, that will mean 200 students having some form of support for their business. Give us 4 years and we will have 800 students enterprises in our KNUST business ecosystem. It helps the school, it helps our own selves and help the country to reduce graduate unemployment as well. 


SRC under my care, will be a leadership that responds to the growing needs of students; an SRC that cares for you.


Join us and let's make a statement!



 It's me again,

 FRANK OWUSU

 AS YOUR NEXT SRC PRESIDENT

TOP 10 RULES TO FOLLOW TO STAY SAFE

  Unsafe surfing can also lead to other threats—from embarrassing personal comments or images that, once online, are nearly impossible to erase, to getting mixed up with people you'd rather have had nothing to do with. Here are the Top 10 Internet safety rules to follow to help you avoid getting into trouble online (and offline). 1. Keep Personal Information Professional and Limited Potential employers or customers don't need to know your personal relationship status or your home address. They do need to know about your expertise and professional background, and how to get in touch with you. You wouldn't hand purely personal information out to strangers individually—don't hand it out to millions of people online. 2. Keep Your Privacy Settings On Marketers love to know all about you, and so do hackers. Both can learn a lot from your browsing and social media usage. But you can take charge of your information. As noted by  Lifehacker , both web browsers and mobile operati...
