NATIONAL GMSA PRESIDENT TO ADDRESS THE MEDIA TODAY!

The Ghana Muslim Students’ Association (GMSA) invites members and the general public to join the National President, H.E. Zakaria Yaakub, as he speaks on the pressing concerns surrounding the religious rights and welfare of Muslim students in mission schools.

📻 8:00 AM – 8:30 AM: Class91.3fm Accra
📻 8:30 AM: Sungmaale FM Wa

The President will further clarify GMSA’s position following recent public press statements on religious practices in mission schools and the concerns raised by affected Muslim students.

Our position remains clear: this is not about Christianity versus Islam, nor an attempt to Islamise Ghana’s schools. It is about religious freedom, equal treatment, dignity and the enforcement of existing policies and constitutional protections.

GMSA continues to advocate for the implementation of the GES 2015 Directive on Religious Tolerance and the Memorandum of Understanding facilitated by the National Peace Council and developed by COMEU, while calling for dialogue, mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.

📄 GMSA will also be releasing its renewed press statement today, outlining the concerns, our constitutional and policy basis, and our call to the National Chief Imam, Muslim leaders, Parliament, GES, the Ministry of Education, the National Peace Council, the Presidency and all relevant stakeholders to support a lasting solution.

This is a matter that concerns every Ghanaian who believes in religious freedom, fairness and peaceful coexistence.
🎙️ Tune in. Listen. Share. Let the conversation continue.

Standing Committees were subsequently formed, including Dawah, Judicial, Finance, Welfare, Corporate Affairs, and Agenda 2036 (Ten-Year Development Plan) Committees.
