In his address, the Dean of the School, Prof. Desmond Omane Acheampong, extended warm congratulations to all students, especially the award winners who were poised to receive honours for their remarkable academic excellence.

He stated that the opportune time had come for students to give all they had in their studies to make not only themselves proud but also their families and the nation.

Prof. Omane told students to approach their lecturers in times of difficulty with their studies and urged them not to relent in pursuing their dreams but to work hard to leave a good mark. 

He advised students to manage their time properly while in school since that would offer them a positive step to excel in life.
