The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) was established in 1962 with the primary mission of protecting and promoting the interests of all Ghanaian students, both at home and abroad. Over the decades, NUGS has been at the forefront of shaping student policies, implementing impactful initiatives, and championing programs that enhance the academic and social experiences of students across the nation.

NUGS is an official government body that works with the Government of Ghana under the Ministry of Education to advocate for student welfare, influence education policies, and support national educational development initiatives. As the official representative body for students at all levels, NUGS unifies and oversees all student blocs, ensuring effective advocacy, policy implementation, and student-centered reforms that align with Ghana’s national development goals.

As a democratic, non-partisan, and progressive institution, NUGS remains committed to championing student rights, fostering inclusivity, and promoting educational excellence. We are dedicated to instilling patriotism and civic responsibility among Ghanaian students while equipping them with the leadership skills and global competencies necessary to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.

Through strategic partnerships, advocacy, and innovation, NUGS continues to empower the next generation of leaders, reinforcing its role as a key stakeholder in national and international student affairs.is an official government body that works closely with the Government of Ghana through the Ministry of Education to advocate for student welfare, influence education policies, and support national educational development initiatives.
