The Minister of State in charge of Government Communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has disclosed that over 41,000 first-year students in public tertiary institutions have successfully registered for the government’s “No Fees Stress Policy” initiative, which covers admission and facility user fees.
This update was shared in a post on X, on May 21, 2025.
According to Kwakye Ofosu, a total of 57,327 students have accessed the registration portal so far, indicating strong interest in the programme.
Ofosu-Kwakye further emphasized the significance of portal registration, stating that it is essential for collecting student’s banking details to facilitate reimbursements for all first-year students who have already made payments.
He wrote, “UPDATE on ‘No fees Stress’. 57,327 students have accessed portal; 41,647 students have completed registration.”
“Registration [is] necessary to obtain banking details of students for reimbursement to those who have already paid their fees and to validate lists submitted by public tertiary institutions,” he said.
About the ‘No Fees Stress’ initiative
The initiative was launched in April 2025 by the Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu. The launch formed part of the inauguration ceremony for the newly constituted Board of Trustees of the Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF), the agency responsible for implementing the policy.
According to Haruna Iddrisu, the No Fees Stress Policy seeks to remove admission, registration, academic user, and facility fees for first-year students in both public and private institutions.
He also described the portal as a “game-changer” in the government’s broader mission to democratize access to tertiary education.
The policy requires first-year students to submit their application through the Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) to cover their admission and facility user fees.
To apply, a student is required to visit https://nofeesstress.sltf.gov.gh/ or at https://www.sltf.gov.gh/ and provide their Ghana Card identification number, telephone number, and student ID number.

I like it when people get together and share thoughts. Great site, stick with it!
Hello this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
