ANU SRC Launches ₵1 Million SRC and Associations Office Block Project to Create a Lasting Legacy for Future Generations
The Students’ Representative Council (SRC) of All Nations University (ANU) for the 2026/2027 academic year has officially launched its ₵1 million SRC and Associations Office Block Project at a fundraising and launching ceremony held at the Career Services Centre on the university's Main Campus.
Held under the theme, “From Vision to Reality: The Responsibility of Today's Student Leaders in Shaping Tomorrow's Institutions,” the ceremony brought together university management, faculty members, student associations, SRC executives, student leaders and members of the student community to witness the unveiling of the initiative and contribute towards its realisation.
The project is aimed at providing a permanent and well-equipped administrative facility for student leadership and associations, while establishing an institutional legacy that will serve present and future generations of the university.
A Vision Beyond the Current Administration
In his opening remarks, the SRC President, His Excellency Michael Bambyo, highlighted the vision and inspiration behind the project, emphasising that the initiative goes beyond the interests of the current SRC administration.
He explained that the building is intended to serve generations of students who will pass through All Nations University long after the current executives have completed their tenure. According to him, the project represents an opportunity to leave behind a meaningful legacy and contribute to the long-term development of student leadership and administration.
The President's remarks reinforced the SRC's commitment to thinking beyond immediate achievements and investing in infrastructure that will continue to benefit the university community.
Project Presentation and Proposed Facilities
The SRC Vice President and Project Manager, His Excellency Prince Kush, subsequently presented an overview of the proposed building, explaining its design, purpose and expected facilities.
According to the project presentation, the proposed facility will accommodate dedicated offices for the SRC executives, including the President and Vice President, the Speaker of Parliament, the Judiciary, the Biomedical and Allied Sciences Students' Association (BASA), and the Engineering, Health and Allied Sciences Students' Association (EHASSA).
The building is also expected to feature a conference hall, a kitchen, a general washroom and individual washroom facilities for the various offices.
Beyond its administrative functions, Prince Kush revealed plans to offer banking services within the proposed facility. The arrangement is expected to let students access banking services and pay their academic fees on campus without travelling to town to complete these transactions.
This proposed addition is expected to make the facility a more convenient service centre for the student community.
A Call for Collective Responsibility and Sustainable Funding
Delivering a keynote address, Dr Kenneth Amoah-Binfoh emphasised the importance of visionary leadership, collective responsibility and long-term institutional development.
He described the proposed office block as more than a construction project, noting that it would represent a permanent home for student leadership, a centre for effective student governance and a symbol of institutional progress.
Drawing lessons from other Ghanaian universities, including the University of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and the University of Cape Coast, Dr Amoah-Binfoh highlighted how student-led infrastructure initiatives can contribute to institutional growth and create lasting opportunities for future students.
He also proposed several strategies to ensure the successful funding and completion of the project. These include establishing an SRC Legacy Fund, mobilising alumni support through a proposed “One Alumni, One Legacy” campaign, engaging corporate organisations and development partners, introducing digital fundraising, organising special fundraising activities under a “Brick-by-Brick Campaign”, exploring institutional support and encouraging voluntary student participation.
He further recommended the establishment of a Fundraising and Project Implementation Committee comprising representatives of the SRC, University Management, alumni, finance professionals and other relevant stakeholders.
Dr Amoah-Binfoh stressed the need for transparency, accountability and proper financial management, urging the SRC to ensure that every contribution received is properly documented and accounted for.
He reminded the university community that the success of the initiative would depend on the collective commitment of students, alumni, university management, corporate partners and other stakeholders.
Fundraising Support and Pledges
A major highlight of the ceremony was the fundraising exercise, which attracted pledges from individuals, student associations and university stakeholders in support of the proposed ₵1 million project.
The Patron of the SRC, Mr Eric Okai, pledged 1,000 building blocks towards the construction of the facility, demonstrating his support for the initiative.
The Vice President for Student and Academic Affairs, Prof. Collins, also pledged a total of 52 bags of cement. The pledge comprises 25 bags personally, 25 bags from his office and an additional two bags. The additional contribution carries symbolic significance as the university celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, with 52 representing the reversal of 25.
The Patron of EHASA, accompanied by the association's executives, announced a pledge of 100 building blocks towards the project. The Patron further indicated that the association intends to make additional contributions as time goes on.
A Level 100 female student from the Nursing Department also pledged two bags of cement, demonstrating that students at every level can play a role in supporting the development of their university.
EHASSA also expressed support for the project during the fundraising exercise.
The contributions and pledges reflected the importance of collective participation in achieving a project intended to benefit the wider university community.
Building a Legacy for Tomorrow
The launch of the ₵1 million SRC and Associations Office Block Project marks an important step in the current SRC administration's efforts to contribute to the long-term development of All Nations University.
Beyond providing office spaces for student representatives and associations, the proposed facility is expected to strengthen student governance, improve administrative coordination and provide a central environment for meetings, consultations and other student-related activities.
The project also presents an opportunity for the university community, alumni, corporate organisations and development partners to contribute to an initiative that seeks to outlive the current administration.
As the fundraising campaign progresses, the SRC will need sustained support, effective partnerships, transparency and commitment to move the project from vision to reality.
A building for today's student leaders, a lasting legacy for tomorrow's generations.
