A statement signed by the UGSRC Chief Justice, Kwabena Amankwah Addae-Marfo, on November 29, 2022, informed the student populace that the preparations for the ceremony had been finalized.
“All members of the University community are hereby informed that preparations towards the swearing in ceremony of the newly elected SRC executives have been finalised”, the statement read.
Speaking to UniversNews, Kwabena Amankwah Addae-Marfo disclosed that a petition he received yesterday necessitated the change of dates for the swearing-in, which was earlier expected to be held on December 10.

He further assured students of the preparedness of the Office of the Chief Justice to see to a successful swearing-in ceremony.
