The Students’ Representative Council (SRC) of the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) in Sunyani is facing intense criticism from students over its choice of performers for the upcoming artiste night as part of the 2024 SRC Week celebration.
This year’s lineup, which features rappers Strongman and Kweku Flick, has sparked widespread disappointment among the student body. Many students believe the choice reflects a lack of ambition and planning, especially when compared to other universities that have secured top-tier acts for similar events.
The students argue that the SRC has failed to meet expectations and is out of touch with what the majority of the student population wants. According to them, the artist night is one of the most anticipated parts of the week, and the selection should reflect the image and aspirations of the university community.
Social media platforms and campus discussions have been filled with disapproval, with some students describing the decision as an embarrassment to the university. Many are demanding answers from the SRC and calling for future decisions to involve more student input to ensure that such events reflect the collective interest of the student body.
The growing backlash has reignited conversations about accountability, representation, and the need for student leaders to align their decisions with the expectations of those they represent. With the artiste night approaching, tension remains high as students continue to express their dissatisfaction.
