Students of KAAF University have organised a mammoth float through the principal streets of the university's immediate catchment areas to celebrate the new charter of the school.

The float, which was held on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, was participated in by over 6,000 students, was a precursor to the official unveiling of a new logo of the university after it received a presidential charter.

It would be recalled that last year, KAAF received a presidential charter, which made it an autonomous university, enabling it to independently roll out programmes that would be responsive to the needs of its students.

Having been granted the charter, the university authorities promised to leverage it to introduce innovative programs that would enhance the educational experience of their students.

The float, which saw a procession of ecstatic students from their main campus in Budumburam through Kasoa to Tuba, formed part of the activities to celebrate KAAF's new status as a full-fledged university.



Speaking to journalists, the Students Representative Council (SRC) president of KAAF University, Mr. Mahama Abudu, lauded the management for their giant strides in obtaining a charter for the school, describing it as laudable and commendable. A feat which gives autonomy to the university, weaning itself from its affiliated public universities to award its own certificates.



He disclosed that graduates of KAAF, in the past, went through difficulties to secure their transcripts as there were unnecessary delays which adversely affected the students.

“Often times, some of the students faced challenges after graduation because their transcript delayed from the affiliated mother institutions”, he emphasised.

According to him, the new era would curtail the unnecessary stress students often endured in their quest to obtain transcripts from the affiliated universities.

He, therefore, on behalf of the students, expressed their profound gratitude to management for their collective vision for the KAAF and their relentless pursuit of securing a charter for the school, which has now become a reality.

KAAF University, formerly known as KAAF University College, is arguably one of the fastest-growing private universities in Ghana.

Last year, the university received a presidential charter to become a full-fledged university with the autonomy to run its programmes and award certificates to its students without being affiliated with any public university.
