    The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) is calling on the government to pay outstanding student loans to over 34,000 beneficiaries ahead of upcoming exams. Some 2,000 students have not received their loan for the first semester and the loan for the second semester also remains unpaid. NUGS gave the government a 5-day deadline to address the issue, but with no response. As a result, NUGS plans to march in protest to Jubilee House in Accra, raising their fists above their heads (#THE-SLTF_FIST_MARCH) to demand the government immediately pay the student loans.
