I’m a member of NPP, but they have no hand in my SRC president ambition – Guru
Ghanaian musician and University of Ghana SRC presidential candidate, Maradona Adjei Yeboah, known as Guru, has said he is a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Despite supporting Dr Bawumia’s ideas, he said the ruling party is not involved in his SRC ambition.
He said, “I’m a member of NPP, and I support Bawumia’s ideas, but they have no hand in my SRC ambition. The students don’t like mixing mainstream politics with school politics. I am solely sponsoring my campaign.”
In an interview on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem on Monday, Guru also outlined key issues he aims to address if elected SRC President, including accommodation, transportation, and the need for free data for online lectures.
“Accommodation is a problem, 60 per cent of the students come from home, and transportation is difficult because the country is already hard,” he explained.
Guru also plans to implement a policy for at least one sick bay in every hall, highlighting his focus on student welfare.
“I’ll address accommodation, transport, sick bay, and data issues when I become the UG SRC President,” he promised.

Gold Board secures $1bn deal to boost responsible mining in Ghana
The Ghana Gold Board has entered into a partnership with Goldstream Global DMCC to attract a US$1 billion investment into the country’s mining sector.
Chief Executive Officer of the Board, Sammy Gyamfi, disclosed at the 2025 Minerals and Mining Convention that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on August 22, 2025.
The agreement, he explained, will pave the way for the establishment of more than 300 responsible mines across the country.
The project will be carried out in collaboration with concession owners, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, and allied agencies.
Mr Gyamfi said the initiative is expected to increase Ghana’s gold output, create thousands of jobs, and ensure that mining is done in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly manner.
He emphasised that the partnership forms part of the Gold Board’s commitment to transform small-scale mining, curb illegal operations, and maximise the benefits of the sector for national development.
