UGSRC presidential aspirants Evander Akrasi and Michael Yeng have pledged to leave a lasting legacy by advancing projects that enhance student welfare and support systems.
The pair made the commitment during their vetting on Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025, at the SRC Union Building.
The vetting process, which featured a panel of eight members, was designed to evaluate the candidates’ readiness for student leadership.
Akrasi and Yeng emphasized their vision of creating sustainable, inclusive initiatives that will serve students long after their term ends.
Their message aligns with the UGSRC’s ongoing efforts, including the recently launched “SRC Day of Giving” campaign. The campaign, which began on Aug. 1, seeks to raise GH¢220,000 to support students with disabilities, enhance academic facilities, and address pressing student needs.
“Our focus is on student welfare,” the aspirants said, stressing the importance of strengthening support systems, particularly for students with disabilities.
The UGSRC plays a crucial role in shaping student life at the University of Ghana. Akrasi and Yeng believe their vision reflects that mandate and aims to build a more inclusive and responsive student leadership.
