In March 1990, the National Union of Ghana
Students (NUGS) held its 25th annual congress at the University of
Science and Technology (UST) in Kumasi (West Africa 9-15
Apr. 1990, 573). Although the article reporting on the congress
mentions various protests and disagreement between student groups
and the government, no precise date of demonstrations was available
(Ibid.). The DIRB does not have current direct access to the
local press, which may have reported on small demonstrations taking
place during the congress. The NUGS congress was reported, however,
to have been "sharply critical of Jerry Rawlings' government" (BBC
18 July 1990).
Corroborative or additional information is
currently unavailable to the DIRB in Ottawa.
