The directive, which affects shops, schools, and corporate institutions across Kumasi, is part of arrangements towards the final burial rites of the late Nana Konadu Yiadom III, the Asantehemaa.
A statement issued by the University informed members of the campus community that all university offices will remain closed for the day.
Additionally, all shops and commercial entities operating within the University are expected to observe the directive and cease operations accordingly.
