Happy New Year to you all! I hope you celebrated the start of 2017 in good spirits with your family and friends. Now that we’re a few days into the new year, it’s good to look ahead and think about what this year may bring us. But, first, let us take a look back.
Last year was full of activities. Our good Lord save us through all the challenges of the year. But we also achieved a huge lot of success. Concerning the academic aspect, we made significant progress in teaching, learning and research. In terms of the administrative aspect, much was achieved. It was by the selfless dedication and hard work that the Faculty chalked this huge success. Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done.
Christmas is considered to be one of the most joyous times of the year, filled with festivities and exchange of gifts. I would like to wish you a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year to all our devoted staff and to the student body.
To the staff of the Faculty, I would like to thank you all for your immense support. You always put aside your personal interest and worked for the success of the Faculty. Your commitment led to the success of the various activities of the faculty this year. We must all thank God for granting us good health and strength. Above all, let us thank God for the peace in our country Ghana. Our supporting staff deserve tons of gratitude.
