The Chairman of ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍøCouncil, Ing. Divine D. K. Kpetigo, has highlighted the need for health engagement sessions for staff and students to be held once every semester to enhance health welfare.

Ing. Kpetigo made this call during his address at a Wellness, Health and Empowerment Summit 2026, organized by the ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍøLocal NUGS, in collaboration with the Office of the Dean of Students on July 9, 2026 at the Silicon Valley Auditorium.

Speaking as the Guest of Honour, he urged students to avoid harmful substances, use technology responsibly, build meaningful networks, develop strong personal brands and pursue excellence, stressing that Ghana’s future depends on a generation that is healthy in mind and strong in character.

Representatives from the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) including the Head of the Project Communication Support Unit, Mr. Samuel Fahren Otoo and the Head of the Tobacco Control Compliance Unit, Ms. Reheal Asantewaa Darko, educated participants on adverse drug reactions, substandard and falsified medicines, and how to identify and report them. They encouraged participants to download the Med Safety App to report adverse drug reactions and to dispose of unwanted medications properly.

The speakers also highlighted the dangers of substance abuse, noting its link to mental health challenges and an increased risk of suicide. They called for stronger collaboration among stakeholders and sustained public education, including regular school outreach programmes, to combat substance abuse.

During his presentation, the National President of the Health Students Association of Ghana (NAHSAG), Mr. Ahmed Yakubu, encouraged participants to educate their peers on health issues and advocate for regular health screening. He noted that many people silently battle health challenges without seeking help and called for the review of the health education curriculum to include first aid training.

Participants also benefited from an eye health session led by an optometrist from Godly Favoured Eye Care Centre, Dr. Prince Kelvin Fianu, who emphasized that regular eye examinations can help detect systemic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. He encouraged participants to visit an eye clinic at least once every year for routine checkups.

The Acting Vice-Chancellor of ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø (GCTU), Prof. Ebenezer Malcalm, has paid a courtesy call on the Australian High Commissioner to Ghana, H.E. Berenice Owen-Jones, on Thursday, July 9, 2026.

The meeting, which formed part of preparations for an upcoming official visit by Vice-Chancellors of Ghana’s public universities to Sydney, Australia, scheduled from July 15 to 24, 2026, aimed at exploring opportunities for academic and professional collaboration between ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍøand universities and other higher education institutions in Australia.

Prof. Malcalm explained that while the primary itinerary would be hosted by Macquarie University in Sydney, ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍøwas keen to leverage the visit to engage additional Australian universities with strengths in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Cybersecurity, Digital Innovation and Emerging Technologies.

“Our university was established with a clear mandate in ICT, Cybersecurity and Emerging Technologies,” Prof. Malcalm noted. “We are seeking strategic partnerships that will strengthen academic collaboration, research, faculty and student exchanges and professional development. We would therefore appreciate the support of the Australian High Commission in facilitating engagements with other universities during our visit.”

Welcoming the ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍødelegation, High Commissioner Owen-Jones expressed her delight at GCTU’s interest in expanding its international partnerships and indicated that the High Commission would support efforts to connect the University with suitable Australian institutions whose academic strengths align with GCTU’s strategic priorities.

Speaking during the meeting, the Business Development Manager for Education in Ghana and West Africa at the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), Ms. Selasi Amenyeawu, revealed that Austrade’s priority for the current financial year is the promotion of Transnational Education (TNE), an initiative aimed at fostering collaborations that enable Australian universities to deliver programmes offshore through reputable partner institutions.

She indicated that Austrade would be pleased to facilitate discussions between ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍøand Australian universities interested in expanding their international education footprint in Ghana. She also disclosed that an Australian education technology company specialising in online plagiarism detection and academic integrity solutions had expressed interest in engaging public universities in Ghana, with ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍøidentified as a potential partner.

Prof. Malcalm welcomed the proposal and highlighted GCTU’s extensive experience in transnational education, describing it as one of the University’s major strengths.

The discussions also explored broader opportunities for institutional collaboration, including joint research, curriculum development, academic mobility programmes, faculty exchanges and capacity-building initiatives.

GCTU’s delegation included the Acting Registrar, Ms. Jennifer Akude and the Head of Industrial Liaison, Ms. Michelline Bosso.
