Ghanaian journalist cum blogger Ernest Kpebu was on Tuesday (24 May) elected the president of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) of African University College of Communications (AUCC).
Ernest Kpebu polled an interval of 83 votes against his main rival Nana Yaw Smith Dadzie to become the winner for the 2022/2023 academic year.
The journalist cum blogger said the victory comes as a huge relief, promising to make students’ welfare his priority.
“Students of AUCC have voted for a change they can feel,” Ernest Kpebu told the media after the declaration of results. “The past weeks have not been easy but God has redeemed His image”
I’ll deliver
Ernest Kpebu said he will deliver on his promises to the students.
“This is just a stepping stone, I’m going to change AUCC SRC; make students have a change they can feel, make an impact and leave it at a level where whoever is going to come will be happy to continue from,” he said.
The journalist cum blogger has promised to develop the institution if he was voted as the SRC president.
Speaking on Afronova TV earlier, Ernest Kpebu stated that he will use his personality to solicit funds for the institution since the SRC has financial constraints.
”As a journalist and a blogger, what I am used to in terms of soliciting funds to support their projects. I know what I can do if I take charge and sacrifice myself or bring myself to serve and be part of how we can raise more,” he said.
