Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has
officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Heritage
Christian University College (HCUC). The agreement enables HCUC to award
degrees in taught undergraduate programmes in BA. Business
Administration, BSc. Information Communication Technology and BA. Arts
in Theology. The two parties also signed the institutional affiliation
as well as the programmes affiliation.
Professor William Otoo Ellis, Vice Chancellor of KNUST, was pleased
with the documents presented by HCUC and urged that the affiliation
should aim at bringing mutual benefits to the institutions involved. He
advised that HCUC should join the Liaison Committee, an association for
all affiliate institutions and a platform to share ideas and help solve
challenges of the institutions.
Professor Ellis admitted that the signing of the agreement had been
long overdue, and this was as a result of the recent malpractices by
some of the affiliate institutions. He explained that most of the
institutions had failed to play their roles according to the principles
in the contracts signed. He concluded that there would be joint teams
from KNUST and HCUC for the purposes of vetting, auditing and admissions
to monitor and co-ordinate affairs.
The President of HCUC, Dr. Samuel Twumasi-Ankrah expressed his
gratitude and assured the Vice Chancellor that they would do all they
could to comply with the details of the agreement. Finally, the Vice
Chancellor presented the delegates from the Heritage Christian
University College a Certificate of Affiliation.
