A former Vice-Chancellor (VC) of the University of Cape Coast, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has donated assorted books to the University Primary School. The School, established in 1964, has named classes after some past Vice Chancellors of the University in recognition of their hard work and commitment to duty during their active service days. It was against this backdrop that Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang visited the school and made the donation to the school in appreciation of the honour done her. At a short presentation ceremony, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang thanked authorities of the school for the recognition. She said teachers of the school raised her children and asked God’s unending blessings for them for being a vessel to impact knowledge to pupils from all walks of life. Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, who governed the University between 2008 and 2012, expressed optimism that the gesture would help inculcate in the pupils the habit of reading to enable them to climb the academic ladder. She encouraged the students to study hard and eschew all forms of negative attitudes that could derail their future ambitions. The Headteacher, Mrs. Georgina Aglobitse, who received the items, thanked Prof. Opoku-Agyemang for the donation and promised that the school would make good use of them. After the donation, the former Vice-Chancellor interacted with teachers and pupils and was later conducted around the various classes by the Headteacher.
