A Brief History About PASSAG

In line with the government's tertiary educational reform programs,the country's polytechnics status where upgraded to tertiary level awarding Higher National Diplomas (HND) which according to the governments white paper is equivalent to a DEGREE.One of the courses which was introduced into the polytechnic is PURCHASING AND SUPPLY MANAGEMENT which the government found necessary to introduce,so as to bring professionalism into the function and to train adequately,personnel to fill the middle level management capacity of organizations so that through this globally emerging function,better value for money spent will be achieved,thus,the 1993/94 academic year saw the commencement of this course among others. With the commencement of the course,there was the realisation of the need of the formation of a students body which will serve as a mouthpiece to champion our course,thus the pioneering students in consultation with the Ghana Institute of purchasing and supply (GIPS) and the Ghana Supply Commission now Ghana Supply Company formed the Purchasing and Supply Students Association (PASSA) in Accra Polytechnic which was inaugurated on 26th July,1994 with the motto:"BEST VALUE FOR MONEY SPENT" and the slogan:PASSAG - PROFESSIONALISM, PASSAG - PROFITABILITY. With time, PASSA was formed in Takoradi and Kumasi Polytechnics which are also offering the course. PASSA moved a step ahead when the membership realised that there was the need for a national body that would enjoin and champion the course of all three branches since we all had common goals and problems. This led to formation of the Purchasing And Supply Students Association Of Ghana (PASSAG),which was inaugurated, on the 7th June 1996 to encompass the Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi branches of PASSA. Today,PASSAG has been extended to Koforidua Polytechnic which is also offering the course.
