My Journey To GNUTS National – Nana Kwadwo Safo

Nana Kwadwo Safo

They say, ”The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step” a Chinese proverb says.

Sit back, relax and follow me as I walk you through my student leadership and stewardship journey till now.

From day one I have served my entire life. In this article, I will tell you about my journey and how it all started but yet still let me give you all something to expect.

In my first year in the tertiary, I started supporting good people with intentions that will help my institution Koforidua Technical University (KTU).

And for that course, I supported former president H.E Jessy Sasu Asante for the presidency and he won. Upon assuming office, he then made me a member of his judiciary committee 21/22 academic year.

Through humility, I learnt human relationships and how to approach issues as and when they come. I learnt a lot during that time. Kudos H.E Jessy.

With that aside, fast forward in Level 200, I continued my journey as a student politician. Which I decried to supporting Mawutor Atigya Foli for presidency. During that time, we did a lot of activities even when we weren’t elected.

Here are some of the activities,

Activities of Big tree

1: Trip to Oboutabri

2: Hostel Aerobics

3: Seminars

4: Aponkye🐐 Gala

5: Tuition for students in some courses

Unfortunately, our aspirant was disqualified but that notwithstanding, he really taught me the benefits of networking and knowing people. The exposure helped me to broaden my network with people and my circle of connections even became more stronger than before.

After Big Trees Agenda, I found capabilities inherent in me and I realized there are students with issues on campus that they find difficult to talk to the elderly about it. So I came up with the Phamous Consultancy. Trust me, it really helped lots of people in my campus and outside campus.

Whether I love agenda or agenda loves me, for that l cannot tell. In anyway, agenda and l love each other. That on the lighter side of things.

Leaving the past behind and focusing forward into the future comes another agenda. The agenda for H.E Emmanuel Akuffo for president.

As usual our experience helped in the campaign process and we won massively by a wider margin vote. All the intention was to bring someone who would elevate or make impart in the school.

After our victory and the assumption of office of the Emmanuel Akuffo led administration, I was appointed as the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the administration.

Here are my achievements as the Public Relations Officer (PRO) under our tenure of office.

I was able to execute all these tasks assigned to me with the very limited resources I had at my disposal by my president, H.E Emmanuel Akuffo.

 

The Road To GNUTS National PRO Position

As I aspire to become the next Public Relations Officer (PRO) for the Ghana National Union of Technical Students (GNUTS), I am driven by a burning passion to leverage my experience and expertise to propel our union to new heights. The remarkable progress achieved by the current GNUTS National Executive Council (NEC) should not be allowed to wane, but rather built upon to ensure sustained growth and recognition.

My journey with GNUTS has equipped me with invaluable insights into the union's potential and challenges. I firmly believe that effective public relations are pivotal in showcasing our achievements, addressing our concerns, and fostering collaborative relationships with stakeholders. My vision is to harness the power of strategic communication to:

1.⁠ ⁠Enhance GNUTS' visibility and reputation through targeted media engagement.

2.⁠ ⁠Foster stronger ties with educational institutions, industry partners, and government agencies.

3.⁠ ⁠Promote member engagement and inclusivity through regular updates and feedback mechanisms.

4.⁠ ⁠Develop and implement crisis management strategies to protect GNUTS' interests.

I am therefore soliciting and asking for your votes at the next congress for you to vote, Nana Kwadwo Safo as your next GNUTS PRO.

Let’s come together and embrace an era where we will give back to the union for the betterment of GNUTS.

 

GNUTS !!!!!!

Professionals with integrity!
