In response, Prof. Oduro said sustenance of the affiliation was key and therefore, the University was concerned about issues of quality. He said the UCC would continue to support UCC affiliate institutions to ensure that they maintain quality in all their activities. “The National Accreditation Board has for instance raised queries about the qualification of lecturer and the entry requirements of students enrolled in some affiliate institutions” he stressed.

He commended management of the College for instituting quality assurance measures in their operations especially, academic work. Present at the meeting were the Director of Academic Affairs, Mr. Jeff Onyame; Dr. K. S.
