UG to furnish students with audited accounts

The authorities of the University of Ghana, Legon, have indicated their willingness to furnish the student body with the audited accounts of both the academic and residential facilities user fees as well as other fees paid by the students from 1999 to date.

This, they said, would help justify the recent increase in the two fees imposed by the administration on the students for the 2000/2001 academic year.

Mr Peter Ben Yarquah, University Relations Officer, said this in reaction to threats by the Students Representative Council not to comply with the new policy on user fees, if the student body is not furnished with the audited accounts.

The student body last Friday at a news conference, threatened that until the authorities had accounted for the user fees, they would not pay any fees.
