Some former students of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) will stage a series of protests from Wednesday to demand the reinstatement of sacked lecturers and staff of the university.
The protest is to also join the University Teachers Association of Ghana to pile pressure on the Vice Chancellor Rev. Fr. Prof. Anthony Afful-Broni to resign.
