The Chaplaincy Committee of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), led by its Chairman, Prof. Aaron Tettey Asare, has paid a courtesy call on the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof Denis Aheto.

The purpose was to officially congratulate Prof. Aheto on his appointment as Acting Vice-Chancellor of the University.

Prof. Asare highlighted the Chaplaincy’s contributions to the spiritual growth of the University and enumerated some challenges it currently faces. Key among them is the lack of space for church service on campus, as well as a store room to keep the equipment of the various campus ministries, among others.

Receiving the delegation, Prof. Aheto expressed his sincerest gratitude to the members of the Chaplaincy Committee for their thoughtfulness.

He said the University would support the Committee through a non-residential retreat to develop a Strategic Plan and come up with ideas to support their activities on campus.

Prof. Aheto said there were numerous opportunities on campus that churches could engage to to cater for their activities.

"I believe that with the retreat, the church can adopt business ideas to help finance its activities,” he said.

Later, Very Rev. Prof David Duodu led the delegation to pray for the management of the University, staff, and students.
