The notice specifically mentioned that groups such as the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG), Students’ Representative Council (SRC), Junior Common Rooms (JCRs), religious groups, as well as departmental and school associations, are now allowed to organise their weekly celebrations and other events.
