The newly elected executives of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) for the 2026/2027 Academic Year have paid a courtesy call on the Management of the University introduce themselves.
The student leaders, accompanied by the Dean of Students’ Affairs, Prof. Baidenger Agyekum Twumasi, were received by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ben Q. Honyenuga, on Friday, 30 October 2026. Also present at the meeting were the Acting Registrar, Dr. Michael Todoko, and other senior officers of the University.
Congratulating the executives on their election, the Vice-Chancellor commended the peaceful and civil conduct of the SRC elections. He noted that student leadership should not be viewed as a militant position or an avenue for confrontation, but rather as an opportunity to serve and represent the interests of students responsibly.
Prof. Honyenuga advised the executives to work through the Office of the Dean of Students’ Affairs in addressing student concerns and promoting student welfare. He urged them to remain mindful of their academic responsibilities while serving as the voice of the student body.
The Vice-Chancellor further encouraged the executives to listen to their constituents, uphold the provisions of the SRC Constitution, comply with University regulations, and work collaboratively in the discharge of their mandate. He also cautioned them against allowing themselves to be used by politicians or self-seeking individuals, stressing the need to remain non-partisan at all times.
Touching on accountability, Prof. Honyenuga emphasised that as HTU is a publicly funded institution, all SRC expenditures must conform to the Public Procurement Act and the Public Financial Management Act. He described the SRC as an important stakeholder of the University and urged the executives to justify the confidence reposed in them by the student body.
The Vice-Chancellor also informed the executives that processes for the development of an SRC hostel project, commenced by their predecessors, were already underway. He encouraged the new leadership to continue the initiative and collaborate with Management for its execution.
Responding on behalf of the newly elected executives, SRC President, Daniel Dahume expressed appreciation to Management for the reception and guidance. He assured the University community of the Council’s commitment to responsible and accountable leadership and pledged to leave a worthy legacy.
