<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cDr. Prempeh\u2019s tenure as Minister for Education was marked by an unwavering commitment to expanding access to education and improving infrastructure. This hostel is a lasting symbol of his dedication to the advancement of tertiary education in Ghana,\u201d Dr. Konadu stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The newly constructed hostel, which will accommodate over 5,000 students, is expected to alleviate accommodation challenges on campus while fostering an environment conducive to academic excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Konadu emphasized the importance of strong leadership in achieving such milestones. \u201cDr. Prempeh\u2019s support for this project went beyond funding; he ensured that universities like UPSA could meet the growing demand for quality education,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Abednego Feehi Okoe Amartey, Vice Chancellor of UPSA, echoed this sentiment, lauding Dr. Prempeh\u2019s lasting impact on Ghana\u2019s education system. \u201cDr. Prempeh\u2019s leadership in education has been transformative, from the implementation of the Free Senior High School policy to the enhancement of infrastructure in institutions like UPSA. Naming this hostel after him is our way of honoring his contributions,\u201d said Professor Amartey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This recognition follows UPSA\u2019s earlier conferral of an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree on Dr. Prempeh in July 2021, which acknowledged his exceptional leadership in advancing education in Ghana. In his acceptance speech, Dr. Prempeh expressed deep gratitude for the honor and reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the growth of educational institutions like UPSA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis honor is not just for me, but for all who believe in the transformative power of education. I remain committed to supporting the development of institutions that play a vital role in our national progress,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The naming of the hostel reinforces UPSA\u2019s recognition of Dr. Prempeh\u2019s immense contributions and highlights the university\u2019s dedication to celebrating leaders who champion the cause of education. The ceremony, attended by dignitaries, faculty, students, and representatives from various educational bodies, marked a significant milestone in the university\u2019s history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), has named a newly built hostel after Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Running Mate for the 2024 elections, to honor his significant contributions to education in Ghana.
