Dr. Ofori receiving the tree seedlings on behalf of the University from Dr. Brown, Country Director of ADRA-Ghana
To mark the presentation ceremony, the University of Ghana Chapter of the Ghana National Association of Adventist Students (GNAAS-UG) planted some of the seedlings in the “N-Block” and “New N-Block”. The tree planting exercise was the second by the group since the launch of the Green Project; the first was in October 2017.
Dr. Brown expressed delight for the opportunity to be part of the Vice-Chancellor’s Green Project and hoped that subsequently, his outfit would partner the students to plant more trees on campus. He assured Mr. Philip Quaye, the University’s Curator of post-planting support. On behalf of the Student’s Fellowship, the Chaplain, Pastor Elorm Edison, indicated that they will continue to support the vision of the Vice-Chancellor in order to make the University’s environment a healthier one.

Dr. Ofori thanked ADRA-Ghana and GNAAS-UG for their kind gesture and support for the Vice-Chancellor’s vision of greening the campus. He seized the opportunity to announce the student-led Plastic Recycling Project and implored the students to show similar support when the programme is finally rolled out.
