NUGS is non-political, and embraces every student in all recognised institutions from the Universities, and higher institutions in Ghana which are affiliated members. There is a permanent headquarters at the State House Buildings, Accra, but the National Executive rotates yearly among the member Universities.
The Union aims at offering a common forum for the discussion of students' problems and the promotion of co-operation, understanding between students and authorities, and friendship among student organisations and other bodies in Ghana and the world at large. It also seeks to instil in students the spirit of patriotism and sense of awareness of, and pride in, their cultural heritage, and how they can improve upon it. The last week in November every year is the NUGS WEEK during which, through lectures and symposia, students are reminded of how best they can help the society which contributes so much to their welfare. The first Monday of December is now a NATIONAL STUDENTS' DAY. The day serves as an occasion for students to offer voluntary services in all parts of the country.
