PAY STUDENT LOANS IMMEDIATELY

National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) wants their student loans to be paid with immediate effect.

NUGS has received several complains from their students nationwide about the non-payment of students loans after long period of applications. The student body said it's unfortunate to also note that last semesters arrears have also not been paid, this is a huge problem in the face of the current situation in the country with students facing inability to register and continue their academic activity.

NUGS said about 70,000 students have applied, and it's even more worrying to note that some institutions have issued notices, warning students of closing registration deadline, an example is University of Business and Integrated Development (UBIDS - WA) amongst others.

NUGS is deeply worried that KNUST is set to write mid-semester exams from 27th of February.2023, it's unfortunate that several of their student's risk not being able to write the exams due to inability to pay their fees as a result of non-payment of students loans.

NUGS by a statement they've released call on the Students Loans Trust Fund and the Government, to as a matter of urgency, pay qualified applicants of the student loan immediately. The union entreats students to calm down and calls on their various secretariats on campuses with special and urgent situations to reach out to the National Secretariats for immediate assistance at info@nugs.org.gh/0241615737.
