A group of level 400 students at the University of Ghana is preparing to petition the University’s Sports Directorate to block the New Patriotic Party (NPP) from holding its conference amid the Covid resurgence.
The NPP planned to hold its National Annual Delegates Conference at the UG Sports Stadium from July 17 to 19, 2025.
The students have raised concerns about a possible escalation of COVID-19 cases, warning that allowing thousands of delegates from across the country to gather could worsen the outbreak and potentially spread the virus beyond the university community.
They argue the event would violate preventive protocols issued by the University Health Directorate.
The University of Ghana, on Monday, June 23, announced a resurgence of COVID-19 cases on its campus.
The university announced an immediate suspension of all social events, encouraging students and staff to observe all COVID-19 preventive measures.
On Thursday, June 26, a statement released by the university’s health directorate revealed that suspected and confirmed cases had been recorded, leading to a revival of internal health protocols.
