Heritage Christian University (HCU) has commended the University of Cape Coast (UCC) for its instrumental role in guiding the institution towards the attainment of a Presidential Charter.
During a visit to UCC, the President of HCU, Dr. Samuel Twumasi-Ankrah, expressed appreciation to the management of UCC for their invaluable mentorship, which significantly contributed to HCU’s transformation into a fully-fledged university.

“The mentorship we received from UCC was instrumental in strengthening our structures and quality assurance, leading to this prestigious recognition,” Dr. Twumasi-Ankrah stated. He further noted that despite the brief affiliation period, UCC’s guidance had a lasting impact, particularly in enhancing academic and administrative standards.

Dr. Twumasi-Ankrah highlighted that one of the outcomes of this partnership was the establishment of one of the best university libraries in Ghana, a testament to the fruitful relationship between both institutions.
Vice-Chancellor of UCC, Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong, reaffirmed UCC’s commitment to providing excellent institutional mentorship. “Our approach to mentorship is one of mutual benefit. We guide our affiliate institutions to uphold national and global standards, ensuring they produce graduates who make meaningful contributions to society,” he stated.

Prof. Boampong also assured HCU of continued collaboration, even as both institutions now operate as chartered universities.
Accompanying Dr. Twumasi-Ankrah were HCU’s Vice President, Prof. Williams Abayaawien Atuilik, and Registrar, Dr. Christopher Akwaah-Mensah.
Present at the meeting from UCC were the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Denis Aheto; Registrar, Gideon Enoch Abbeyquaye (Esq); Head of the Department of Animal Science, Prof. Julius Kofi Hagan; and Head of the Institutional Affiliation Office, Dr. Justice K. G. A. Boateng.
