The student will be required to enter his or her Ghana Card number, and then verify his or her identity with the NIA by taking a selfie on the “CAPTURE PAGE”.

On page 6 of the Youth Manifesto titled “The Pledge: The John Mahama 2024 Pledge to Young People,” the following was stated, “We will implement a no-fees stress programme to alleviate the financial burden on parents and students in financing tertiary education. We will implement a ‘No Academic Fees’ policy at the university for level 100 students.”

During his vetting on January 20, 2025, Haruna Iddrisu revealed that government will make provision in its maiden budget for refund of admission fees of first year university students.
