In his welcome remarks, Prof. Kwaku Adutwum Ayim Boakye, the Vice-Chancellor, warmly received the delegation and emphasised the University’s commitment to enhancing collaboration with the Authority. He noted that Management’s strategic goal was to increase student enrolment to 30,000 by the year 2030, adding that the contributions of committed national service personnel would greatly support the University’s expansion agenda.

Prof. Boakye also congratulated Mr. Rahman and encouraged him to continue pursuing excellence while representing both the University and Ghana. He further stressed the need for proper orientation for national service personnel to instil professionalism and strong work ethics.
