The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has called on the University of Ghana to lower residential facility fees from GHC 3,000 to GHC 2,500 for both new and returning students. This appeal was made during a meeting held on February 6, 2025, with the university’s management, including Vice Chancellor Prof. Nana Aba Amfo and the Student Representative Council (SRC), at the Ministry in Accra.
“I have directed the Vice Chancellor to reduce the residential facility fees by 25 percent and have also instructed her to involve the SRC in any future fee announcements,” stated the Minister.
In response, Vice Chancellor Prof. Nana Aba Amfo assured the Minister of the university’s commitment to adhering to the directive. “We have heard your concerns, Minister, as well as those of our students, and we are able to implement a 25 percent reduction across the board. Moving forward, we will ensure greater student engagement in such matters,” she said.
Maradona Adjei Yeboah, President of the SRC, expressed gratitude for the fee reduction but urged the university to issue refunds to students who had already paid the higher amount. “We appreciate the reduction, as it will ease the financial burden on our parents. However, we request refunds for those who have already paid the full fees,” he emphasized.
The university management revealed that around 80 percent of students have already settled their residential facility fees.
