Dear Affable Students of @KNUSTGH, As fellow students who walk the same paths, use the same routes, and face the same daily challenges on campus, I speak to you with sincerity and openness. Leadership, as many rightly say, is not about noise but rather it is about results. When the bridge around the SDA Church (Engineering Gate route) became dangerous and inaccessible, it wasn’t just a structure that was affected; it was our safety, our convenience, and our peace of mind. At that critical moment, I (OBENG KELVIN FOSU) did not wait for complaints to pile up. I did not shift blame or offer mere assurances. I stepped forward, mobilized support, and took action. Today, the bridge has been fixed. GOOD MORNING #KNUST THE WEEK AHEAD WILL BE WONDERFUL, GOD WILL SHAPE OUR PATH AND WE SHALL BE VICTORIOUS IN ALL OUR DEALINGS. ENJOY YOUR DAY. Once Again, My name is OBENG KELVIN FOSU and I want to be your next @KNUSTGH @knust_src President '26.

So the immediate concern is the food stocks and the livelihoods of caterers, but the teachers whose working conditions and grievances triggered the strike barely feature in the conversation? That’s a serious problem. You cannot constantly highlight the inconvenience caused by a strike while ignoring the people who are striking. Teachers’ livelihoods matter too, and their concerns deserve the same urgency.

This threat of salary deductions is, quite frankly, intimidation. If the government is unwilling to meet the teachers’ demands, it should not use their salaries as a means of pressuring them into backing down. Teachers have legitimate grievances, and threatening their livelihoods does not make those grievances disappear
