The Public Universities Junior Staff Association (PUJUSA) chapter at the University of Ghana has secured 50 motorbikes for its members as part of a broader initiative aimed at improving mobility and efficiency among junior staff.
Spearheaded by PUJUSA executives, the initiative is part of an ongoing effort to provide a total of 250 motorbikes, addressing transportation challenges and boosting productivity. The event, held on March 27, 2025, was themed “Enhancing Mobility of Public University Staff for Efficiency and Productivity.”
The project, initiated by PUJUSA leadership, was made possible through collaborations with the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), Republic Bank Ghana, and other stakeholders.
Speaking to Univers News at the event, PUJUSA Chairman, Mr. Amuzu, emphasized that the initiative aims to tackle transportation difficulties affecting punctuality and work efficiency.
“We really want to enhance the productivity of our workers. Many members struggle with transportation to and from work, which impacts their efficiency. Providing motorbikes will significantly improve their mobility.”
Some beneficiaries expressed their excitement, describing the initiative as a major relief that would ease their daily commute and promote punctuality.
“We are very excited because it is not easy to save GH₵17,000 to buy a motorbike. This initiative gives junior staff an opportunity to be more punctual and efficient. Many of us live far from campus, so this will be a great help.”
“Oh, it’s a very good initiative. This will help those of us who live far from our workplace get here early, improving our efficiency.”
PUJUSA executives reaffirmed their commitment to securing additional motorbikes to meet the 250-motorbike target.
The Public Universities Junior Staff Association is a body that represents the interests and welfare of junior staff working in Ghana’s public universities, focusing on issues such as working conditions, mobility, and overall efficiency.
