According to a report by 3news, a degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Leadership (Honoris Causa) will be conferred on the president.
This was decided by the Council of the University, with a Special Congregation scheduled for Saturday, May 29, to mark the occasion.
President Nana Akufo-Addo
The report suggests the Presidency has already been informed of the honor, having received a letter from UCC dated Friday, April 30, 2021.
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.
