Prof. Daniel Agyapong calls for Entrepreneurial and Start-up Act

19 Feb, 2024 By DIS

A professor of Finance and Entrepreneurship, Prof. Daniel Agyapong, has called for the introduction of Entrepreneurial and Start-up law to transform and impact positively on Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operations in the country.

Such a law, according to Prof. Agyapong, would debar politicians from making new manifestoes about SMEs during electioneering campaigns.

He said this was necessary in view of the fact that the SME sector contributed significantly to the growth of Ghana.

Prof. Agyapong said this during his inaugural lecture held at the School of Graduate Studies Auditorium of the University of Cape Coast (UCC).

It was on the topic: " Entrepreneurship and Small Enterprises’ Development Night Journey: The Road Monsters. Fairies, and Angels".

The event was attended by some past Vice-Chancellors of the UCC, members of academia, civil society organisations and other personalities.

He used the occasion to also call for Financial Support Scheme Act for business development services for SMEs in the country.

Prof. Agyapong, who is the Director of the Directorate of Academic Planning and Quality Assurance, observed that SMEs employees who pilfer from the enterprise were hindering the progress of SMEs.

He underscored the need for a curriculum in education that were relevant to the skills and needs of the job market.

He said entrepreneurship should serve as a detonator in the country to help address the nagging issue of youth and graduate unemployment.

“For me, I believe that one of the ways to ensure social transformation is SME,” he added.

Prof. Agyapong noted that Ghana’s SMEs face considerable challenges in growing their businesses, including limited access to finance and quality technical assistance, as well as high taxation amongst others.

 As part of his contributions to the sector, Prof. Agyapong said he had trained entrepreneurs on good financial management, provided skills set for struggling businesses to survive and thrive and helped them to adapt to the evolving market trends.

He stressed the need to instill the mindset of entrepreneurship in the younger generation.

He said it was for that reason that the School of Business at UCC was training students in entrepreneurship to generate ideas and recognise business opportunities.

He mentioned home, community and school as agents of socialisation of the stages of developing entrepreneurial mindset.

Dr Ayamba, a native of Pusiga in the Upper East Region graduated with a PhD in Guidance and Counseling.

In recognition of this feat, he received US $2, 000 award from the Chancellor of the University, Dr. Sir Sam Jonah.

In an interview, Dr Ayamba, told the media that he lost his sight in an accident in August 1995.

Owing to his condition, he enrolled at the Presbyterian Training College, Akropong to study braille.

Following the rehabilitation at the School of the Blind at Akropong, Dr Ben Bishop Nyanihorba Ayamba said he pursued further education at UCC after completing his Teachers Training College in 1999. 

He was subsequently assigned to teach at the Junior High School at Ntonso for two years before enrolling at UCC in 2001 for his bachelor’s degree. He completed in 2004 with a Bachelor of Education in English and Psychology. 

Following this, he was posted to Mampong Technical College of Education to teach English. 

After three years of teaching, he returned to UCC to pursue his Master of Philosophy in Guidance and Counseling. 

In 2016, he gained admission to read PhD in Guidance and Counseling at UCC.

Dr Ayamba stated that his journey was marked by prayers and determination and advised parents of children with disabilities to prioritise their wards education, noting the availability of numerous disability schools in Ghana. 

 

Seek support 

He urged persons with disability to contact the Department of Social Welfare, Ghana Blind Union, and other organisations that support the physically challenged and PWDs for direction and support.

Dr Ayamba suggested that parents of children with disabilities should send them to rehabilitation and examination centres to assess their capabilities and determine suitable educational settings whether inclusive, mainstream, or special schools. 

He believed that such efforts would help individuals with disabilities recognise their potentials, pursue their interests, and contribute meaningfully to their families, communities, nation, and the world at large.

Dr Ayamba acknowledged the challenges he faced on his journey but credited his achievements to prayers and determination. 

He also expressed gratitude to the University of Cape Coast for providing a comfortable and accessible environment for his studies.

UCC graduates 15, 505 students

19 Feb, 2024 By DIS

The University of Cape Coast has graduated 15,505 students who successfully completed their programme of studies requirements to earn various degrees from the institution.

The graduands were from the College of Education Studies, College of Humanities and Legal Studies, College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences and the College of Health and Allied Sciences.

Among the graduates included 28-year-old physically challenged, David Osei Pipim, with a CGPA of 3.6, who came out with a First Class in Communication Studies.

Addressing the graduands during the first to sixth sessions of the 56th Congregation, the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Johnson Nyarko Boampong, who commended the students for their successful completion of their academic programmes, urged them to be outstanding in whatever field they found themselves and become ambassadors for the institution.

He said the University would continue to strive to maintain its standards of excellence in higher education for meaningful societal impact.

He advised the graduands to make a positive impact in their various fields of endeavour.

Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong 

Prof. Boampong pointed out that despite the positive strides management had made towards infrastructural development, the University was still grappling with deficit in infrastructural, especially students’ accommodation on campus which had forced most students to rent hostels and apartments around campus.

The situation, according to him, had resulted in high incidence of theft and robbery attacks on students, undermining efforts to ensure the safety of students.

The Vice-Chancellor expressed worry about some failed agreements with certain organisations to put up hostels in the past and expressed the University’s resolve to deal with the accommodation challenge through a collaboration with the UCC branch of the Ghana Universities’ Staff Superannuation Scheme.

He, however, reported that the Science Annex building project that started some fifteen years ago had been completed, awaiting commissioning.

“We are grateful to both past and present GETFund administrators for the continuous support. Without them we would not have come this far. Not only are we getting laboratories to facilitate teaching and learning but will also have a number of office space for our academic staff,” he said.

Prof. Boampong used the occasion to remind the graduands about UCC’s position as the topmost ranked University in Ghana and West Africa and amongst the top 10 ranked universities in Africa.

“UCC still remains the only university in Ghana which has achieved this position in West Africa and Africa,” he continued.

“This achievement demonstrates the reputation of the scholarly research outputs of UCC, particularly over the past decade. By this feat, UCC has also demonstrated its contribution to higher education and the impact of its scholarly outputs in Ghana, Africa and the world,” Prof. Boampong added.

The Vice-Chancellor indicated that “sustaining this feat also behoves each one of us to diligently play their part in fulfilling the University’s core mandate of teaching, research, and community service.

He appealed to the University community to ensure that the campus was violent-free ahead of the 2024 general elections.

The Vice-Chancellor advised the student body, staff and management to be tolerant of one another, reminding them of the potential dangers which accompanied conflict and war.

First-year students receive relationship counselling

19 Feb, 2024 By DIS

Level 100 students of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) have been advised to be self-reflective and make the right choices in their academic work and relationships on campus.

 The advice was given during relationship counselling event organised by the Counselling Centre on the theme: " Balancing Academic Excellence and Romantic Harmony: Nurturing both sides".

Addressing the students on the topic: “Combining Relationship Issues with Academic work”, the Head of the Department of Guidance and Counselling, Dr. Stephen Doh Fia, said it was not a wrong decision if a student decided to enter into relationship on campus.

c2.jpg

 Dr. Doh Fia

However, he was quick to add that students should soberly assess themselves well whether they could combine academics with relationship while on campus.

“If you can spend as much as 90% of the time on your academic and about 10% on your relationship issue, is beautiful. If you can spend 80% of your time on academic work and just about 20% on relationship issues, I will say it is good,” he added, telling them not to rush into relationship.

To manage their academics with relationship, Dr. Doh Fia, implored students “to plan their life, set realistic achievable goals for themselves, set their priorities right and redefine the relationship”.

He used the occasion to warn female students who enter into relationship on campus against turning themselves as “wives” and undertake household chores for their male partners.

That, according to the Head of Department, would defeat the purpose of the relationship and mar their academic performance.

Dr. Doh Fia urged students not to shy away from seeking professional counselling when experiencing psychological and relationship problems.

The Director of Counselling Centre, Dr. (Mrs.) Rita Holm Adzovie, in her remarks, said the Centre exist to provide high quality services to solving the problems of students and staff of the University to promote the academic, career, social and personal development.

c3.jpg

Dr. (Mrs) Rita Holm Adzovie

She said counselling played a critical role in the life of every student and for that matter students and the general public must avail themselves for counselling to facilitate academic, career, personal, and social development.

Dr. Adzovie urged students to take advantage of professional counsellors assigned to their halls of residence.

A Counsellor at the Counselling Centre, Prof. Linda Dzama Forde, who treated the topic: “Balancing Heartbreak and High Achievements”, explained that “a break up simply means the relationship was not the right relationship – it was the wrong relationship.”

c3.jpg

Prof. Linda Dzama Forde 

 

She mentioned loss of trust, jealousy, poor communication and possessiveness as some of the reasons why relationships fail.

She maintained that break ups in relationships were normal and students should take break ups in good faith and move on in life.

“Accepting reality has to do with recognising that breakups are painful. And if something is painful, what do you do? Nature has its ways of helping us to release emotional pain. Sharing the problem is one. Crying is one. It’s okay to cry. But it’s also important not to stay in that mood of just mourning, grieving and blaming yourself.”

Speaking on the topic: “Healthy versus Unhealthy Relationships on Campus,” a Counsellor at the University Health Services, Mrs. Bridgette Nzima-Mensah, entreated students to engage in healthy relationships to secure their well-being and mental health.

c5.jpg

Mrs. Bridgette Nzima-Mensah

According to her, unhealthy relationships were unacceptable, disrespectful and undignified behaviours displayed in a relationship.

Mrs. Nzima-Mensah said: “Any relationship that attacks your self-worth and makes you doubt yourself, makes you feel ashamed and guilty and doesn’t make you feel good about yourself is toxic for you and should not be encouraged.”

“If you have been affected by an unhealthy relationship with anyone, if you are in a toxic relationship, if you are struggling with self-worth, don’t keep it to yourself, seek professional help and heal,” she advised.

As part of the event, the students had the opportunity to pose questions on relationship to the facilitators. The excitement of the students was visible in the questions they asked after each presentation.

The event was chaired by the Vice-Dean of Students, Prof. Edem Amenumey.
