History of NUPS-G UG

The Union began at the Akuafo Hall Chapel of the University of Ghana (Legon) on 22 November 1959, with 39 members. The inaugural ceremony (official launch) took place at Legon Hall on 28 February 1960. The first branch President (Legon) was Rev. E. S. Mate-Kodjo (later Synod Clerk of PCG). In 1962 the idea had spread and other branches (such as at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology KNUST) were being established. A significant evangelistic programme of the Union called “SICE” (Students-In-Church-Evangelism), later renamed P-SICE (Presbyterian Students In Church Evangelism), is one of its hallmark national engagement activities.
