The Presidency said to have accepted the decision after writing back to the University through the Minister of Education.

Akufo-Addo became Ghana’s President after a landslide victory in the 2016 presidential election over the NDC’s John Dramani Mahama.

He was successfully re-elected in 2020 for a second term after again beating rival Mahama in a one-touch victory.
