You Have My Full Support – Otumfuo Tells New KNUST VC
The Monarch of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has reaffirmed his unflinching support for the newly inducted Vice Chancellor of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Prof. Christian Agyare.
The reassurance comes days after his induction as the 13th Vice Chancellor of the institution.
Otumfuo stated that his doors would always be open to the VC for direction, counsel and consultation on any matter.
“Don’t drag your feet in coming here. We will offer you all the needed support,” he said.
Otumfuo also encouraged him to live up to the confidence reposed in him by leveraging his rich experience within the institution.
“It is your turn as Vice Chancellor, and we are confident that you can do the work, and that is why you were appointed,” he added.
His Majesty further cautioned him against heeding any commands that may be attributed to his outfit by anyone seeking undue favours.
The Chancellor of the KNUST emphasised that such instructions must be verified directly with him.
“If I need you to do anything, I will call you personally. If anyone attributes anything to me, verify with me first,” he stated.
His Majesty also rallied the support of management behind the new VC.
“Give him all the necessary support in the performance of his duties to advance the prospects of the institution,” he urged while addressing a delegation from the institution led by the VC.
The Vice Chancellor used the occasion to formally convey his appreciation for the honour of his investiture held over the weekend.
The KNUST delegation also included Mr Benjamin Owusu Boampong, Registrar; Dr Charles Nsiah, Finance Officer; and Dr Daniel Norris Bekoe, University Relations Officer.
