Accra: Telecel Ghana is set to transform the University of Ghana into the hub of music and dance this Valentine's Day, as Black Sherif, KiDi, and Kweku Smoke headline the telco's high-energy campus party dubbed Telecel TurnUp.
According to Ghana Web, the event is slated for Saturday, 14th February, 2026, to climax the university's Akwaaba Week celebration. Telecel TurnUp promises a night of nonstop entertainment with a lineup of crowd favorites and rising talents in music and dance.
Anchoring the night are three of Ghana's most magnetic music hitmakers. Black Sherif leads the charge with his raw energy and chart-topping global anthems. Joining Blacko is Ghana's official 'Sugar Daddy,' KiDi, ready to bring smooth vocals and lover-boy vibes to the stage. Gen-Z crowd-puller, Kweku Smoke, is also set to deliver an unforgettable performance that promises to throw the audience into a frenzy.
Director of Enterprise Business and Wholesale at Telecel Ghana, Tawa Bolarin, explained that TurnUp is designed to celebrate existing partnerships with universities on the network's tertiary bundles. "TurnUp is our flagship campus party created specifically to celebrate tertiary institutions benefitting from our special packages. We organise it every year to appreciate our relationship with the host university and appreciate the student population, who are a major part of the Telecel brand," Ms. Bolarin said. "It could be your university next year."
The two most outstanding music and dance performers will walk away with the title of the Telecel Next TurnUp Star and a whopping GH?10,000 each, along with priceless exposure.
Beyond entertainment, Telecel Ghana has invested in partnerships with universities as the telecom operator continues to roll out highly discounted bundles, reinforcing its reputation as a brand that genuinely understands students' and youth needs.
As part of Akwaaba Week, Telecel is rolling out a two-day Cashless Bazaar prior to the climax event, where students can shop, eat, and chill while making cashless payments with Telecel Cash.
There will also be Service Clinics on campus, offering SIM registration, SIM swaps, Telecel Cash setup, and network support. Brand partners including Bel Beverage, Coca-Cola, Hotwav, iTel, and Close Up will be on ground with activations and product giveaways, while Uber joins the party with discounted rides to make getting to and from the varsity convenient.
Since launching in 2021, Telecel Turn Up has evolved into one of the most anticipated campus experiences in Ghana. It was previously hosted at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in 2022 and at the University of Energy and Natural Resources in 2024.
Exclusive to Telecel users only, students can purchase and activate SIM cards at designated activation points across the traditional halls ahead of the event, ensuring no student misses out.
As Black Sherif, KiDi, and Kweku Smoke prepare to electrify the University of Ghana's Athletic Oval on Valentine's Day, Telecel TurnUp is promising a night packed with music, youth culture, and unmatched campus vibes.
