Petition to Governing Council
Persistent Increment of UGEL Hall Fees Must Stop!
Decision Makers:
Governing Council
We, the students of the University of Ghana, call for the immediate cancellation of the 15% increment in UGEL hall fees and for a reduction in accommodation fees where possible. Students deserve clear communication, accountability, and a real voice in decisions that affect our welfare and our ability to stay in school.
While rumours of a possible increase had been circulating, the University did not provide any official communication or explanation before the new fees suddenly appeared. That is not fair to students, who are already making difficult choices to keep up with their education and daily living costs. When fees rise without warning or proper consultation, it creates confusion, stress, and hardship for many in the student body.
Accommodation is not a luxury. For many of us, it is a basic need that makes learning possible. We cannot accept a system where students are expected to carry heavier financial burdens without transparency or respect. If the University is committed to student welfare, then it must listen to students, explain its decisions clearly, and reverse this increment.
We therefore demand the immediate scrapping of the 15% UGEL hall fees increment, along with meaningful steps to reduce accommodation fees where possible. Our education should not come at the expense of our financial stability.

My parents are paying other fees, the increment will just make it worse. Stop increment now
Some of us cannot afford 8.5k why besides why would you let us pay that outrageous amount only for them to lock at 12 am. That 12 am policy ain’t gonna work if they’re to make us pay 8.5
My parents can’t afford a hostel for me anymore, and my program requires me to be in school everyday, which directly means I have to have a hostel, best on campus.
I sign this as an extortion from UGEL on students and parents. This is pure cruelty and irrefutably harmful to access to free education.
The increment is unbearable, we can no longer pay while paying for other fees THIS MUST STOP NOW!!
These impromptu fee increment must stop..
It is concerning Imagine someone taking a gap year cos they don't have money going to school next year to pay 2 times if fees they person didn't have money for

Honestly speaking there should be a communiqué as to why fees are being increased. If fees are increased without any visible improve in maintenance and welfare of the student is very alarming.
