Dr. Ohene Yankyira, immediate past UTAG President in a solidarity message encouraged the new leadership to see other Unions on the University as complementary and hence liaise with them towards a common purpose.
He further stressed the importance of effective communication and transparency within the leadership, whiles telling them that the task they have inherited is not an easy one.
The newly elected President, Joseph Agalik Agalik, who spoke to Focus news after the event said his administration is going to ensure maximum use of dialogue in seeking the welfare of FUSSAG and its members.
