The Asantehene, Otumfuor Osei Tutu II has referred to the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as a man in whom he is well pleased.
Speaking at the investiture ceremony of Prof. Rita Akosua Dickson, the newly appointed Vice Chancellor of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Otumfuor made this remark while acknowledging the presence of the President.
“President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in him I am well pleased.” He said
The monarch also described the ceremony as a rare one. “…this is the fourth time I am presiding over such an event as Chancellor of this noble university. You all agree with me that today’s ceremony is historic in a number of respects. It is historic by the way we are all dressed in nose masks and face shields, it is historic by the limited number of people seated in this auditorium due to social distancing and the other restrictions and protocols resulting from the dreaded COVID-19 pandemic which has compelled the whole world and modify the new way of doing things. To borrow the words of the President, we are not in ordinary times”.
The Council of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), at its 258th Special Meeting held on Thursday, June 25, 2020, appointed Professor (Mrs.) Rita Akosua Dickson as the Vice-Chancellor of the University.
She takes over from Professor Obiri Danso under whose tenure the school witnessed violent demonstrations by students leading to the destruction of school property.
