Nyankpala, March 6, 2025 – In a significant move to improve student welfare and academic efficiency, the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) of the Nyankpala Campus has donated a Motor King and Public Address (PA) systems to the University for Development Studies (UDS). The donation, presented at the SRC Secretariat, was received by the Campus Principal, Professor Mohammed Muniru Iddrisu, along with other university officials.

According to the SRC President, Mr. Bruce Kambotou, the gesture was aimed at addressing key student challenges, particularly in the areas of water accessibility and lecture facilitation. “The Motor King will ensure a more efficient and cost-effective means of transporting water, reducing reliance on external suppliers and ensuring consistent availability for students,” he explained.

On the significance of the PA systems, Mr. Kambotou highlighted their role in enhancing the learning environment. “The PA systems will improve the lecture hall experience, reducing the need for expensive external sound equipment rentals and fostering more engaging academic sessions,” he noted. “This initiative underscores our commitment to sustainable and cost-effective solutions that benefit the entire student body.”

Commending the SRC for their proactive approach, the Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Alhassan Musah, encouraged student leaders to focus on impactful initiatives. “Student leadership is remembered not for agitation but for investments that enhance the student experience,” he remarked, urging the SRC to continue seeking innovative ways to address student needs.

The Principal of the Nyankpala Campus, Prof. Mohammed Muniru Iddrisu, congratulated the SRC for their generosity and commitment. He emphasized the importance of collaboration between student leadership and management to drive meaningful change. “Management will ensure that the necessary mechanisms are in place so that students derive maximum benefits from this donation,” he assured.
