In a related event, the Chairman of the LEC group and a Life Coach, Mr. Albert Kusi has admonished student leaders not to use their positions to amass wealth but to make an impact and help transform their colleagues before they hand over.
Mr. Kusi was speaking at the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) chapter of the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR), week celebration launch on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, at the University Auditorium. “Show leadership and see leadership not as an opportunity to amass wealth but an opportunity to serve others and to make an impact in the lives of others,” he further stressed. He added that student leaders should always make sure they use the students’ dues to organize seminars that will help broaden the knowledge of those who vote them into those positions.
The week launch summit was on the theme: “Developing an entrepreneur youth and Achieving financial goals using Technology” is expected to end on Saturday, August 27, 2022, and will see students embark on a float through the principal streets of Sunyani and engage in some fun activities.
