The National Union of Ghana Students wishes to condemn the alleged firing of warning shots and teargas on students at the University of Education Winneba (UEW) in their bid to restore sanity by pushing back protestors.

The union believes that in ensuring law and order the Police must take professional actions that will not harm or lead to injury of students but actions that will encourage Students to have trust in the security agencies in this country. 

The union condemns any form of lawlessness been perpetrated by faceless people on the University of Education Winneba Campus and calls for calm.

NUGS believes that the rules and regulations that govern the University must be well protected to prevent anarchy and chaos on the development of academics in the country, and condemns any person who will want to put the law into their own hands.

The union also calls on the Ministry of Education in Charge of Tertiary Education, the authorities of University of Education, Winneba, the Students' Representative Council, the local NUGS Secretariats to continuously work at bringing an end to the unnecessary brouhaha that has been affecting academics on the development of Education by students on the campus.
