UBA partners Regent University to launch Eduportal

United Bank for Africa (UBA) Ghana has partnered with the Regent University College of Science and Technology to launch Eduportal. Eduportal is software that largely enables students to pay school fees without stress.

The Eduportal system is a flagship product developed by the UBA Group for tertiary institutions, which has been rolled out for many universities in Nigeria and other countries. In Ghana, Regent University is the first to start using the Eduportal system.

Among other things, Eduportal handles the automation and processing of student and staff data, online application, admission and registration, transcript processing, online payment of tuition and other fees, document sharing, e-learning and checking of results.
The Eduportal also provides online registration and admission management, online admission status checking, virtual library among others and it seeks to provide efficiency and reduce manual handling and processing of data.

Launching the software, the Deputy Managing Director of the Bank, Daniel Addo, emphasised that “The cumbersome nature of paperwork associated with student information management, the ever increasing student population and the need to ensure timeliness and efficiency in service delivery in a modern day educational institution makes it imperative for a robust automation system that manages the yearly increase in student turn-over and oversee administrative and academic processes in a seamless effective and efficient manner.”

According to him, UBA Eduportal enhances administrative efficiency by cutting down cost while increasing productive output, adding that the portal was designed with the entire academic community in mind. “It provides a seamless interactive learning environment, creating a smooth and reliable interface between students and staff and the general public.”

Prof Kingsley Larbi, president and CEO of the university observed that the institution is aiming to become a world-class university within the next 10 years and it is “imperative that all stakeholders continue to strive towards the pursuit of what is considered best practices within the academic world.”

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
