The

universities (private and public) in Ghana; USAG has over 300,000 student

works at mobilizing and harnessing the human and intellectual potential and
capacity of the University community and channeling them into valuable/positive
projects and activities.
USAG’s
mission is to contribute our quota, as an academic and intellectual community,

engagement with the people, agencies and organizations which have a stake
(direct or indirect) in the socio-cultural, economic and political growth,
progress and transformation agenda.
Over

and goals of common interest.
