Kane Nana Francis is the 64th SRC president of KNUST
The 64th Students’ Representative Council (SRC) President of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kane Nana Francis, took a strong swipe at critics of his administration during his final State of the SRC Address delivered on Saturday, August 30, 2025.
Addressing the KNUST SRC Parliament, the outgoing president questioned the basis of criticisms against his administration’s performance, noting that easy access to the internet has enabled such critiques.
“Students now have the opportunity to access the internet, and some choose to leave their books behind, go online, and type anything to insult or use scanty words against an administration. My question to everybody out there is: Do you know what it takes to be president?” he questioned.

“We have not achieved everything, yet we have achieved enough to prove that progress is indeed possible, that unity is powerful, and that conviction is stronger than criticism,” he stated.
