The Directorate of Public Affairs (DPA) has held a day’s retreat to develop an action plan for 2024 to serve as a guiding working document.
The action plan will serve as a roadmap for undertaking key actions and setting targets to be achieved in 2024.
Opening the workshop, the Director of Public Affairs, Major Kofi Baah-Bentum (rtd), commended heads of sections and units as well as their staff for contributing towards managing the University’s corporate image positively.
“Each sectional and unit head and your staff have helped through various roles to build an enviable reputation for the University,” he said.
Major Baah-Bentum noted that the retreat was aimed at setting clear targets to be achieved in 2024 which would subsequently help to shape the Directorate’s strategic plan for the next five years.
He urged participants to think outside the box and develop bold and ambitious strategies to improve the Directorate's function at the University.
