Appreciation

    
In a remark, the College Registrar, College of Humanities and Legal Studies (CHLS), Dr. Alexis V. Akanson, noted that the occasion was organised “to say thank you; show appreciation and bid farewell” to their Senior Colleagues. “Indeed, you need to be acknowledged and commended because you have contributed immensely to the development and achievements of UCC through your hard work, toil, dedication and commitment,” he added.

Urging the retirees to stay in harmony with everyone, the President, Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA), UCC Branch, Mr. Kwabena Antwi Konadu, said, “Do not harbour any bitterness in you but try and find out the best ways to relate with others.
