A high-powered government delegation yesterday met with the Ashanti Regional Security Council (REGSEC) and stakeholders of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) to devise ways of resolving the issues that led to the violent demonstration by the students last Monday.

The successful resolution of the sticky issues by the meeting could pave the way for the reopening of the university.

The high-powered government delegation, led by the Minister of Education, Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh, included the Minister of National Security, Mr Albert Kan-Dapaah, and the Minister of Information designate, Mr Kojo Oppong Nkrumah.

The meeting, held behind closed doors, was also attended by members of the Ashanti Regional Security Council (REGSEC) and other stakeholders of the university, including representatives of the University Council, the management of the university, led by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Kwasi Obiri Danso, and the Students Representative Council (SRC).
