The President of the Ghana Telecom University College (GTUC) in Accra, Prof. Osei Darkwa, urged the newly admitted students to take up the opportunities that were available to them in their education, stressing, “I invite you to take up the stewardship and challenge of a rich legacy of excellence.”
School’s approach
He said they were aware of the challenges that came with unemployment, hence the need to train students using a very practical approach that could make them stand on their own as well-trained entrepreneurs.
“We train students so that they make positive contributions to society, and that is why most of our programmes are driven by entrepreneurial studies,” he added.

He, therefore, advised the students to honour the sacrifices of their parents, guardians, family and friends by behaving responsibly and making the most of the extraordinary opportunity.
