A delegation from the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG) has paid a courtesy visit to the Management of the Presbyterian University, Ghana (PUG) as part of activities leading up to the 25th General Assembly at Rock City, Kwahu-Nkwatia.
The delegation, led by Rev. Ebenezer Acheampong Asiedu, Chairperson of the Akuapem Presbytery, was warmly received by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor John Ofosu-Anim, and members of the University’s Management at the Senate Chamber, Okwahu Campus on Wednesday, August 13, 2025.
In his welcome remarks, the Vice-Chancellor expressed deep appreciation to the General Assembly for its continued support of the University’s mission and development. He especially acknowledged the Moderator, Rt. Rev. Dr. Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye, and expressed gratitude for the GH¢100,000 donation he made during the University’s last Congregation ceremony in April.

Prof. Ofosu-Anim highlighted the vital role that the Church’s support has played in PUG’s growth, noting significant achievements across its five campuses — with particular mention of the Asante Akyem Campus.
He further shared that Management is currently exploring the possibility of establishing an additional campus through a potential collaboration with a facility owner at Bana Hills in Odumase-Krobo. However, he clarified that this initiative is still under deliberation and no final decision has been made.
Reiterating the University’s strategic vision, the Vice-Chancellor stated that PUG is committed to becoming a leader in postgraduate education. In line with this vision, he noted that in addition to the existing nine postgraduate programmes, four more are in development and currently undergoing the accreditation process with the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC).

Key areas of discussion during the meeting included infrastructure development, strategic affiliations with other colleges, and the intensification of the University’s outreach activities.
Both parties expressed optimism that the strengthened collaboration between the Church and the University will lead to more impactful initiatives in the coming years.
The visit concluded with a prayer led by Rev. Bosea-Gyinantwi for the University’s staff and students, invoking God’s continued guidance and blessings on their work.
