UCC Budget Controversy: Students Protest Discrepancies in Apanky3 Cup Funding

University Budget Reading Turns Chaotic as Students Protest Apanky3 Cup Funding A budget reading at Valco Hall, University of Cape Coast (UCC), in Ghana, took an unexpected turn on May 25, 2025, when students reacted angrily to the announced budget for the Apanky3 Cup. The event, which was meant to be a routine presentation of the hall's financial plan, was disrupted by student protests. The total budget was stated as 8145042.20 Ghanaian Cedis. The video shows students on balconies looking down at the proceedings, their expressions ranging from disbelief to anger. One student, speaking to the camera, noted, "It's clear there are serious issues with how the budget was handled. We need transparency and accountability." The video also shows a detailed budget sheet, which appears to show a significant discrepancy in the funding allocated to the Apanky3 Cup compared to what was verbally announced. The incident highlights concerns about financial transparency within the university system. The university administration has yet to issue a statement regarding the students' protests and the alleged budget discrepancies. The event serves as a reminder of the importance of open communication and accountability in managing student funds. This incident underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability in the allocation of student funds. The university administration should address the students' concerns promptly and take steps to ensure that future budget readings are conducted more transparently.
