The Minister for Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, has officially inaugurated the reconstituted Governing Council of the University of Ghana (UG), charging members to uphold the institution’s status as a leading global centre of academic excellence.

The brief ceremony, held in Accra, brought together senior officials, stakeholders, and members of the University community. In his address, Hon. Iddrisu urged the newly constituted Council to provide strategic leadership that enhances the University’s research, teaching, and administrative standards.

“As the flagship university of our nation, the University of Ghana must lead in shaping innovation, policy, and global academic standards. The work of this Council is therefore vital to the success of Ghana’s entire tertiary education sector,” the Minister said.
