It is the dearth of civilised ways to developing a country that makes some of you feel impressed about the tolling and blocking of access to Legon road policies of this VC and his admin. I am not the least impressed by the farce.

Although I place ultimate blame on the inept Mahama administration, with immediate responsibility clueless Min. of Roads he appointed, a univ of the stature of Legon should have managed to convince the clueless politicians that it was their responsibility to ensure that the roads are maintained.

Ghana is still backward and underdevt for the simple reason that the vast majority of Ghanaians are not yet ideationally developed, and that includes those Legon honchos calling themselves Professors and what not!

In civilised countries, one, including govt bodies, can't just block roads which have been used as thoroughfares for decades like that and impose tolls and charges for stickers like that what's happening in Legon. In fact, you can't even make and extension to your house without permission from even your neighbours. I participated in the surveys that led to the Congestion charge in London and so I have practical experience of these things.
If this man has been re-appointed cos of his recent actions, then those appointing him need to think twice. I doubt if they are capable of coming to a diff. conclusion though. Didn't Ken Kuranchie come back from prison and pronounced that Ghanaians are not civilised, something I knew as a kid? Of course, you the reader knew too except that you never gave it a thought! Think about it: have you ever heard or read anywhere Ghana[ians] classified among the developed nations?

I welcome with joy, ghana need tough leaders like prof. If Mahama has some qualities like that, Ghana would have been in a better place by now rather than stocking our national debt with corruption and mismanagement!

By his re-election, I think there was a discriminatyion against Prof Florence Dolphine because she was a woman when it got to her turn to be made the VC on grounds of her reaching the compulsory age of 60. I am 59 and Prof Aryeetey was my senior by 2 years at Presec legon in the mid 70s so he must be at least 60 and going for a second term which will make him overaged. This is for a man but not for a woman.

Aryettey is not 60 years. Yes he came to Presec sixth form from Achimota in 1976 and was in Labone House. I was also in Presec so stop the lies

Your argument is flawed.Do you know Aryeetey's age when he came to sixth form? You were a grown man among boys in Presec. Aryeetey is 56. The records are there so you have no case.

If this man, who is not even a critical paedagogist, could suggest that specialized education is not needed at the lower level of education and could go scot free, then it tells you why we are under developed.

This guy who hates progress is has bullied his way for second term. The whole University Council must resign. This is shameful and an indictment of the University Council.

Congratulations. We need someone who can take Legon to the next level. The respect must return. For those who have travelled abroad you will note that there are very few universities in the world beautiful like Legon.

Congrats VC.
Nkwaseafo) bi nti, Ghana is suffering. We need men with balls and women with breast to check the corruption and to think. If this man can maintain UG like this... we actually need him to be Prez. He thinks at upper levels and over a longer time span. The stupid prez and his foolish ministers spent Ghana's money to win an election and here we are at the brinks of economic meltdown. We need high thinkers and not simpuomien3sa leaders.

Prof. Ayitey's re-appointment was in the right direction. He is a good entreprenearial Administrator who thinks about innovation and creativity. His Road levy is a praised strategy to harrass overdependence on Government for subsidy. To me most of our University priojects should be sourced from IGF. UPSA is a perfect example under the Leadership of Prof. Alabi, the CIMG Marketing Man of 2012. The UG 'TOLLING ' method is workable but adequate feasibility should have been carried out first earlier to estimates its security, profitability and economic viableness.

This legon people all that you think is about yourself not the larger society. The location and large tracts of land - both developed and undeveloped - of the university is a nightmare and poses constraint to planning and urban development for good circulation, safety, security and convenience for people living within the proximity of the university. Insteading of the university assisting because of your selfish and myopic interest you rather block them from access other facilities on the other side of side through the university. The university is suppose to train people to develop society not to impoverish other section of society. I am not surprise the is the kind of people the university is producing to serve the country - selfish and corrupt leaders, public servant and politicians. Go and see how KNUST and cape coast is living in harmony with its external environment. Very shame I will say.

This man in question has never thought of poor people but that is the man the government of the 'people' want eeeeiii. which re-appointment is that? is Mahama aware? a VC who is buying a biometric gate for 50,000 dollars when there is no light and water. biometric gate that will consume part of the few electric watts available and alwayS put the students in danger is what our gov't wantS..., First thing is suppose to be first but Ayeetey's case his pocket first and the president's pocket second before he thinks about the rich people in town. Seseku Id-Amin of Ghana. may u and ur president live long to face the revenge from GOD.
