The University of Ghana has dismissed recent reports alleging that it collected over GH₵11 million in graduation fees without distributing medallions and scroll holders to graduates.
The claims, initially published by JoyNews and shared by Joy 99.7 FM, have been described as misleading and inaccurate.
In a statement released by the Public Affairs Directorate on February 17, 2025, the university clarified that the GH₵500 graduation fee paid by each of the 15,776 expected graduates covers multiple essential items and services.
These include gown rental, a congregation publication, a university-branded souvenir, and administrative overheads.
