Mr. Onwuzurigbo was full of praises for the successes the University had chalked over the years especially, the 2022 Times Higher Education World University Rankings which adjudged UCC as the number one university in Ghana, number one in West Africa, fourth in Africa and among the top four hundred universities in the world.

“UCC has a population of more than twenty-five thousand students and only a quarter of this number is accommodated by the University. The others have to find accommodation in the communities surrounding the University. So, Zenith should think of collaboration along this line and UCC is ready to negotiate with you to address the student accommodation dearth”, Prof. Nyarko Boampong said.
Responding to the Vice-Chancellor’s request, the MD/CEO of Zenith Bank requested for a meeting with a Project team from the University since his team was ready to commence discussions on how best the Bank could support to make up for the accommodation deficit the University was faced with.
Both parties exchanged souvenirs from their respective outfits.
The Vice-Chancellor of UCC was at the meeting with the Registrar, Mr. Jeff Teye Emmanuel Onyame and the Director of Finance, Mrs. Elizabeth Obese.
