The planned #StudentsAreSuffering demonstration scheduled for today 3rd February 2022 has been suspended indefinitely.
The Coalition of Concerned University Students (CoCUS), a group of student activists across the various university campuses in Ghana, announced a peaceful demonstration to express their displeasure with government’s inability to end the strike by the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG).

The strike was originally scheduled to begin from the University of Ghana, Legon campus through the Liberation road to the Jubilee House and end at the Parliament House.
In a latest development, CoCUS says the decision to postpone the peaceful demonstrations was concluded after the group received communication from the Accra Regional Police Command of the Ghana Police Service on an emergency Extraordinary Summit of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in Ghana’s capital city today February 3rd 2022.
“These are all machinations to sabotage our good cause of advocating for the ordinary Ghanaian university student. However, we remain focused as a strong team to stand firm and refuse to be compromised in any way.”
“In this vein, the CoCUS postpones the demonstration till further notice. All Ghanaian students, parents and compatriots of the general public and all stakeholders should continue to support us in the fight,” a statement from the group said.
