  "account": "The University of Ghana (UG) has warned the public to ignore a bogus notice circulating online about the resumption dates and hall fees for the 2026/2027 academic year. The notice, posted on October 14, alleges that new students should start attending the institution from October 15 and pay GH¢2,000 per semester for dormitory accommodations. It also claims that returning students would have to shell out GH¢4,300 per semester to utilize the campus' conventional dorms and overseas dorms. The fabricated notice further lists October 16 and October 17 as the starting days for fresh students, sparking worries about the dissemination of potentially false details regarding admissions and living arrangements. University officials have cautioned the university community and the general public against trusting the notice, labeling it as a fake. Students are encouraged to disregard the information and instead depend on official university communication methods for officially confirmed start dates, living accommodations, and approved charges for the upcoming academic year.",
  "summary": "The University of Ghana (UG) has urged students and the general public to disregard a fake notice circulating on social media that contains purported resumption dates and hall allocation fees for the 2026/2027 academic year.",
