Mostly students and staff of tertiary institutions, National Service Personnel as well as professionals agreed on a set of recommendations and actions to achieve their objective.

This was contained in a communiqué issued after the 2014 National Campus Community Congress organised by The Deeper Life Campus Fellowship from July 16th to 20th at the Deeper Life Campground, Brofoyedru, Kumasi.
