The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) was formed in the year 1962 and has since had the central aim of protecting the interest of all Ghanaian students both home and abroad. As such, the union has in successive years taken up various initiatives, projects and programs to ensure that the student life and experience for the youth in our country is a pleasant one.

The union is a democratic, non-partisan and progressive mass movement of students, both in Ghana and abroad, championing a common course. We are also committed to advocating to inculcate a high degree of patriotism and nationalism in our students to prepare them adequately for the future of our country.
