The Ghanaian Times finds the declaration of war by the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, John Peter Amewu on land guards as a step in the right direction. According to the paper, the phenomenon of land guards did not begin today. Successive governments have tried to end the menace through various approaches but persistent cases of rampaging groups violently attacking residents in communities suggest all efforts have failed. The Times, however, is of the view that the fight against land guards cannot wait, as a lot has already been lost, but the current effort to end it must be sustained and supported.

The Daily Heritage supports the call by Agric students on government to offer support to agricultural colleges. The paper makes reference to recent picketing by students at the Ministry of Food and Agriculture to impress upon government to restore their allowances. The paper believes the time to invest hugely in the agric sector is now. It therefore calls on government to restore allowances and other resources to restore the few agricultural colleges to their rightful place.
