This occurred during a day two unannounced visit as part of a crackdown following a petition by the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) on April 23, 2026, calling for urgent action over rising accommodation costs, which NUGS considers a form of student exploitation, reportedly exceeding 300% of tuition fees.
