The Speaker for the much anticipated "Indece Hall Talk" has finally been revealed following an earlier declaration by the Hall Junior Common Room Committee (JCRC). The Talk which is scheduled to take place this Friday on the Hall's Instagram page at exactly 7:55pm will be themed: LOOKING BEYOND COVID-19, THE ROLE  OF STUDENTS IN OUR SOCIETY.

The Speaker,  Alfred Ababio Kumi, per the affirmation released by the JCRC of the Hall tagged him as a believer of God with a strong desire to make a difference. Mr. Alfred Ababio Kumi, an "old bone" of the Aggrey Memorial Secondary School and a graduate of the University of Ghana-Legon has won some awards in the year 2018 during his stay at Alex Kwapong Hall of the University of Ghana. He was awarded PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR, THE RECOGNITION AWARD and THE MOST INFLUENTIAL STUDENT. He is currently the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Vision Lob.

However, the CEO did contest in this year's  Adenta Constituency Parliamentary Primaries on the ticket of NPP, unfortunately he lost to the current member of parliament for the constituency, Hon.Yaw Buaben Asamoah.

Quoting from comments made by the Junior Common Room Committee of the Hall, this was what they prompted, "The Junior Common Room Committee of Independence Hall believes that in order to uphold the image of the Hall as the premiere Hall on KNUST campus, despite these difficult times, we must continue  to ALWAYS be A STEP AHEAD."

The JCRC also assured members of the hall that, their will and commitment to always serve the hall with their outermost best continues to be unshakeable and will without hesitation do what will be best for the Hall.

The rainy season exacerbates the situation, transforming the roads into a maze of mud and deep potholes. Students are sometimes seen jumping on stones to avoid messing their shoes. During the dry season, the roads are marred by dust and uneven surfaces, making travel uncomfortable and hazardous.   For students off-campus, this means navigating treacherous paths daily, risking their safety and well-being in the process.
