1. Management of the University of Ghana wishes to apologise to our cherished students (Level

100 and continuing students) for the current challenges with online registration for the First

Semester of the 2026/2027 Academic Year, which are caused by the ongoing industrial action by University Administrators.

We wish to assure students that arrangements are currently

underway to make the portal available for registration.

Arrangements are also being made to enable eligible students to secure accommodation on

campus for the 2026/2027 Academic Year through the Randomised Bed Allocation Exercise.

Eligible students who wish to be considered for accommodation are required to:

1. Express interest in university accommodation using the link sent to them by the

University;

2. Pay at least 50% of their total fees due for the academic year; and

3. Complete their academic registration once the registration portal is opened.

The date and other details for the Randomised Bed Allocation exercise will be announced in due

course through the University’s official communication channels.

We wish to remind students and parents again that university accommodation can only be

secured through the online allocation and all fees must be paid to the designated university

bank accounts.

Please beware of unscrupulous individuals who are posing as university officials and offering accommodation for a fee.

The university DOES NOT collect any fees through

personal bank accounts or mobile money accounts.

Management appreciates the patience and understanding of all students and parents, while we take steps to open the portals for academic and residential registration.

Management apologises to students over registration delays, announces plans for academic registration and randomised hostel allocation

The management of the University of Ghana has issued an important notice to Level 100 and continuing students concerning registration for the 2026/2027 academic year, following challenges affecting the online registration process.

According to the university, the ongoing difficulties with online registration for the First Semester are linked to the ongoing industrial action by University Administrators.

Management has apologised to students and assured them that arrangements are underway to make the registration portal available.

Registration portal to be made available

The university says students should remain patient as steps are being taken to restore access to the portal and allow eligible students to complete their academic registration.

The notice, signed by Professor Gordon A. Awandare, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Academic and Student Affairs, also addresses accommodation arrangements for the new academic year.

University announces randomised bed allocation

In another key development, the University of Ghana says arrangements are being made to enable eligible students to secure campus accommodation through a Randomised Bed Allocation Exercise.

Students who wish to be considered for university accommodation will have to complete three key requirements:

Express interest in university accommodation using the link sent to them by the university.
Pay at least 50% of their total fees due for the academic year.
Complete their academic registration once the registration portal is opened.

The university says the date and other details for the Randomised Bed Allocation Exercise will be announced later through its official communication channels.

Students warned about accommodation scammers

The University of Ghana has also issued a strong warning to students and parents to be cautious of individuals claiming to be university officials and offering accommodation in exchange for money.

Management stressed that university accommodation can only be secured through the official online allocation process.

The university further reminded students that all fees must be paid into designated university bank accounts.

It warned that the university does not collect fees through personal bank accounts or mobile money accounts.

Students and parents have therefore been urged to be vigilant and avoid dealing with individuals who demand payments through unofficial channels.

Management appeals for patience

The university says it appreciates the patience and understanding of students and parents as it works towards opening the portals for both academic and residential registration.

For now, students are expected to monitor the university’s official communication channels for further announcements regarding the registration portal and the Randomised Bed Allocation Exercise.

Friday’s action along a section of the beach front was not a Flood Mitigation Action by the government task force.

The action has nothing to do with the work of the Taskforce along the Kpeshie lagoon, East Legon Boundary Road, Oyarifa, behind Mayfair Estates, etc, that are efforts towards supporting the Ministry of Works, Housing and Water Resources to mitigate any future floods.

To understand Friday’s action, it was carried out under the supervision of the National Security at the request of the Labadi Beach Hotel.

These are structures, some permanently built (Polo Beach Club and others) on the beach in front of the hotel, and which according to the business, is adversely affecting the safety, tranquillity and reputation of the Hotel, diminishing the visitor experience and undermining the orderly management of one of Ghana’s most important tourism destinations.

While the hotel will be able to explain, in more detail, the necessity for its action to reclaim its beach front, we must all be concerned about the serious sanitation issues that these unauthorised and unregulated commercial operations cause, in addition to the security risks.

I have seen drone shots and other short videos. Is the Labadi Beach Hotel not right in reclaiming its beach front (I am not talking about the La Pleasure Beach, please).

Some importers have called on the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to investigate the alleged unauthorised removal and transfer of 28 containers from the Tema Port.

In a petition dated September 29, 2026, and submitted to the Commissioner-General of the GRA, the importers raised concerns over the whereabouts of the containers, which were at different stages of the customs clearance process.

According to the petition, the 28 containers were discovered to have been emptied, misplaced, transferred or moved from the port without the consent or knowledge of their respective owners.

The affected containers were identified in the petition using their bill of lading numbers, with the importers urging the GRA to conduct an immediate and comprehensive investigation into how they were removed or transferred.

The petition stated that: “Twenty-eight (28) containers at various stages of clearance were found to be empty, missing, transferred and/or moved out of the port without the knowledge of the owners.”

The importers also disclosed that they had reported the matter to the Tema Regional Police Command. The complaint has reportedly led to the arrest of some individuals suspected of having connections to the incident.

The case follows allegations surrounding the illegal removal and diversion of containers from the Tema Port.

The alleged incident reportedly came to light after some owners of the affected consignments discovered that their goods were being removed from one of the containers and taken to a warehouse located near the GHACEM area in Tema.

The importers have expressed their readiness to cooperate with the GRA, the police and other relevant authorities as investigations into the matter continue.

Attached to the petition was a list of the 28 affected containers, together with the respective statuses recorded by the importers.
