Gyakie Announces Withdrawal from Scheduled KNUST SRC Week Performance

Ghanaian sensational songstress Jackline Acheampong, popularly known in the music industry as Gyakie, has officially withdrawn from her scheduled performance at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) SRC Week celebrations. The announcement, shared via her official account on X (formerly Twitter), confirmed that she will no longer be appearing at the Hall Week event originally slated for Saturday, July 25, 2026. This news has come as a significant surprise to the university community, where Gyakie is celebrated both as a chart-topping artist and a prominent alumna.

The "Forever" hitmaker was expected to be a major highlight of the festivities, which serve as a cornerstone of the Students' Representative Council (SRC) social calendar. While the artist’s social media communication did not explicitly detail the reasons behind the sudden pull-out, it solidified her absence from the high-profile Saturday night lineup. The SRC Week at KNUST is widely regarded as one of the most anticipated student events in Ghana, typically drawing massive crowds and featuring top-tier musical talent to entertain the diverse student body.

Following the announcement, reactions from fans and students have been characterized by a mix of disappointment and curiosity regarding the change in plans. As the university prepares for the upcoming celebrations, it remains unclear whether the SRC executive body or event organizers will secure a replacement act to fill the prime performance slot or if the program will be restructured. This development underscores the complexities of managing high-profile entertainment schedules and leaves the student body awaiting further updates on the final itinerary for the week's activities.
