CELEBRATING HIS EXCELLENCY PAA-QUECY ADU (PK), THE NUGS PRESIDENT

Birthdays are undoubtedly, special milestones in one's life. The specialty of such milestones becomes even more indescribable when we are talking about a life well lived. A life, that has positively impacted on many other lives. A life, that is symptomatic of grace, bountiful blessings, hard work, success and comfort for all. A life, that is of envy to all. And more importantly, a life, that will be told generations upon generations perhaps till the end of time. 

YES, I'm talking about the life of none other, but His Excellency Paa-Quecy Adu, the President of NUGS. So, I am humbly pleased to join the rest of Ghana, Africa and the World to celebrate the life of this legend and an illustrious son of an Asante man and an Ewe woman (President Rawlings and his lovely wife come to mind). PaaQuecy is someone, whose name will forever remain in our history books as having defied all odds to make POSSIBLE, the seemingly impossible. He is the only man in our 50-year history, who has headed at least three Student Unions as National President including TTAG, GUPS and the ultimate, NUGS. What again hasn't he achieved as far as the enterprise of student struggle is concerned? 

In fact, there cannot be an objective rendition of the history of student activism in Ghana and Africa without the countless mention of the name, Paa-Quecy Adu. I dare say, to disagree with this asseveration is tantamount to being, either disingenuous or maybe jealous. No matter our occasional disagreements, we all have to celebrate our heroes and for that matter the DESERVING; which is a philosophical underpinning of society and indeed, our own National Students Awards (NSA-Gh). 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY H.E Paa-Quecy Adu. I wish you the very best in all your endeavors especially as you continue to fight and protect the interest and welfare of the students of Ghana. Allah bless you. CHEERS

Your good friend and brother in the struggle for a better student front and for God and country.
