Speaking at a ceremony to outdoor the newly procured uniforms, Vice Chancellor, Professor Lydia Aziato in her address said “a new uniform means a new image, a new identity, a new acknowledgement, motivation and recognition.” “Therefore, once your presence and contributions as members of the University community is highly acknowledged, you have a responsibility to continue to commit to service and deliver on your mandate to the University.”

As we dedicate this uniform today, it is a reminder for your call to duty and the ethical principles you should demonstrate in your line of duty. Because without you, our property, staff and resources are exposed.”
