Social media
He cautioned the new students against the effects of social media which tended to restrain students from studying seriously.
He also mentioned that although social media had contributed positively to academic work, it was gradually becoming a dangerous tool for promoting vices such as illicit relationships, occultism and mass civil protests .
Morality
Prof. Afrane acknowledged the fact that these vices were as a result of a breakdown in morality and ethical values of which the youth were the most hit.
He said the university which presented the Holy Bible to each new student offered a secure environment to redefine the lives of the students by inculcating into them sound Christian and ethical values and the knowledge of Christ.
Election
Prof. Afrane urged students to contribute in various ways to ensure a credible and peaceful election.
“As young people, you should not allow yourselves to be drawn into any acts of political violence. Election is a contest of ideas and not a battle field, he told the students.
Prof. Afrane urged them to engage one another in healthy debates and also pray that the Lord would guide Ghanaians in choosing the right leaders.
