Speaking at the glamorous convocation held at the Accra International Conference Centre, Bishop Titi-Ofei congratulated the graduating class of 2022 on reaching the latest milestone.
"We are creating a global business school that is creating the next great leader who can drive change, lead innovation, and solve the numerous problems confronting our beloved country.
"As a business school, we are creating leaders who will help fine-tune the moral fibre of our society," he said.
Bishop Titi-Ofei added that his outfit was poised to produce job creators who would increase income and reduce poverty.
"At ABS, we believe that there is a direct correlation between democratic stability and economic growth. For our democracy, which we have laboured and worked hard for, to grow and thrive, we must work hard to create an enabling environment for entrepreneurial opportunities for young people," he stated.
