The day, officially declared by President John Dramani Mahama to be observed annually on July 1st, is set aside to unite Ghanaians in gratitude to God for His abundant blessings.

He reminded the community of the nation’s blessings — peace, stability, and freedom from war since 1992 — and emphasized the need for continued prayer for Ghana’s growth, peace, and prosperity.
The Chaplain highlighted various dimensions of prayer: supplication for divine support and provision, prayer as a means of communing with God, intercession for fellow citizens, and thanksgiving for God’s goodness. He urged members of the university community to make prayer for the nation a daily habit, not just on designated occasions.
The service was filled with spirited thanksgiving songs, praise, and worship, as prayers were offered for Ghana, its leaders, and the nation’s future.
The congregation also reflected on the need to overcome corruption, illegal mining (galamsey), and moral decline, calling on God for wisdom and direction for national development.
The CSU community reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the values of faith, integrity, and patriotism as they continue to pray for the nation.
