Linda Ayesu, a former President of the KNUST Media and Communication Students Association, has been elected Press and Information Secretary of the 24th administration of the University Students Association of Ghana (USAG).

Ms. Ayesu, who pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Media and Communication Studies at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, was elected to oversee the Association’s public relations and information activities.

She previously served as President of the KNUST Media and Communication Students Association and Coordinating Secretary of the KNUST chapter of the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS).

As Press and Information Secretary, she will be responsible for the effective publicity of USAG’s activities, programmes and projects, as well as the release of relevant information and communication around the Association’s conferences.

Ms. Ayesu said her tenure would focus on strengthening communication between USAG and university students across the country and creating opportunities for students to tell their own stories.

Her agenda is anchored on the mantra, “You for Tell Your Story,” which she said reflects her commitment to ensuring that students have a voice in the Association.

“It means creating a USAG where students can share their experiences, concerns, ideas, achievements, aspirations and victories and know that their stories matter,” she said.

As part of the agenda, she plans to establish “Inform Them,” a communication platform connecting the USAG Press and Information Secretariat with public relations officers and student leaders across member institutions.

The platform is expected to improve the flow of information on USAG activities, opportunities, decisions and issues affecting students on their respective campuses.

She also intends to introduce the “You for Tell Your Story” platform, which will provide space for student leaders to share stories about challenges, innovations and successes within their institutions.

According to Ms. Ayesu, the initiative is intended to generate conversations that could increase the visibility of student issues, deepen engagement and encourage meaningful action.
