On Saturday, June 27, 2026, a University of Media, Arts and Communication’s Graduate Student Association of Ghana (UniMAC-GRASAG) delegation attended the first senate meeting and swearing-in ceremony for the new GRASAG national appointees at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi.
The UniMAC-GRASAG delegation joined the National Executive Committee (NEC), fellow local executives, and National GRASAG Senators for the landmark Senate event. The President, Mr. Daniel Ofori Asante (KODA) led the delegation and was joined by the Secretary, Ms. Matilda Mensah Marfo (Tilly), and the Women’s Commissioner (WOCOM) Ms. Mabel Tettey.
The GRASAG Senate is the highest legislative and decision-making body of Graduate Students across all Universities in Ghana. At the 2026 Senate, UniMAC-GRASAG achieved an unprecedented milestone, leaving KNUST with four (4) major national appointments, namely: Chair, Monitoring & Evaluation Committee – Mr. Daniel Ofori Asante (KODA); Deputy Chair, Projects & Programmes Committee – Ms. Matilda Mensah Marfo (Tilly); Member, Gender Commission – Ms. Mabel Tettey and Member, Publicity Committee – Mr. Mohammed Tauphic.
These appointments for UniMAC-GRASAG reflect the hard work and dedication demonstrated by the KODA-Don Johnson administration since taking office. Speaking at the end of the Senate, the UniMAC-GRASSAG President, KODA, had these to say. “This is a monumental victory for UniMAC, establishing a strong foundation with the hope that future administrations will build on this momentum to secure National Executive Council (NEC) positions in the near future”.
On hearing the news of these appointments, the Dean of Students for UniMAC, Dr. Isaac Tandoh, could not hide his excitement. He remarked that, ‘UniMAC is training the next generation of responsible leadership and it is with great pride that I congratulate the UniMAC-GRASAG Executives for securing four (4) appointments at the National level. Your appointment is a test of responsible leadership, use it to represent, listen and lead with integrity. The Dean of Students office is solidly behind you.”
The Vice-Chancellor of UniMAC, Prof. Eric Opoku Mensah, who was a titan in student politics during his university student days, also congratulated the UniMAC-GRASAG Executives. He advised them to serve with integrity in the remarks that, “Congratulations for waving high the flag of UniMAC. I am proud of your achievements at the GRASAG national level. Your appointments are a call for service with integrity and to use your unique skills as coming from a specialised communication University to make a difference. Communication is the key to clarity, consensus and action”.
UniMAC-GRASAG extends its deepest gratitude to the GRASAG NEC and President Richard Class-Peters for their confidence in UniMAC-GRASSAG capabilities. UniMAC-GRASAG remains fully committed to working diligently, supporting the national vision, and helping to make GRASAG greater than ever.
