Tensions have risen at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) following a controversial dispute between the CEO of Enfoni, Mr. Prempeh, and the KNUST Student Representative Council (SRC) President, who has faced insults and derogatory comments from the CEO over a graduation photography matter.
In a shocking voice recording allegedly featuring Mr. Prempeh, he is heard making derogatory remarks about the KNUST SRC President, who has been advocating for student rights in the graduation picture-taking process. The recording has caused outrage among students and the public.
The controversy stems from Mr. Prempeh’s exclusive rights to provide graduation photography services for KNUST’s 85,565 undergraduate students, effectively monopolizing the process. This has raised concerns among students and photographers about restrictions imposed on student photographers.
The KNUST SRC President, who aspired to the position while in her second year, is being criticized by Mr. Prempeh, who referred to her as “over-ambitious” and “power-drunk.” These derogatory comments have not only been seen as disrespectful but have sparked discussions about sexism and disrespect towards women in leadership roles.
Students and various stakeholders have rallied behind the SRC President, asserting that her role as a student leader empowers her to advocate for the rights and interests of KNUST students. The controversy has highlighted a broader discussion about the role of students not only in pursuing academic degrees but also in entrepreneurship.
