Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana Mrs. Elsie Addo Awadzi in her remark at the launch of the 75th-anniversary celebration of the University of Ghana tasked the university’s council to create a strong ethical and moral foundation for the university on Wednesday, September 31, 2022.
“We need a strong ethical and moral foundation for the university, one that instils in students a sense of personal responsibility to advance the public interest and the common good. We need a new generation of students that live and operate by an honour code and who will grow to lead with integrity and selflessness for the benefit of our nation and our world. A renewed emphasis on ethics and civic education is needed, going forward” she said.
She also urged the council to be more proactive in opportunities proactively explore opportunities for funding the investments on a sustainable basis, that are needed to deliver desired outcomes for the next 75 years.
“Everyone has a role to play here, and we must all join forces to ensure that our university is able to provide educational facilities and experiences for students that shape them into world leaders. While donations and endowments through partnerships will go a long way and should be pursued, innovative approaches for generating sufficient income for the university and its various cost centres will be key to sustaining continuous improvement in the UG experience.”
She believes believe that as we celebrate over the next year, clear strategies to achieve the above will be helpful to promote a stronger and more impactful university.
