The Provost of the College of Science at the ÌÇÐÄVlog and Technology (KNUST), Professor Philip Antwi-Agyei, has paid courtesy visits to pioneers of the college and former provosts as part of efforts to strengthen institutional continuity and acknowledge their contributions to the college’s development.
Professor Antwi-Agyei was accompanied by the College Registrar, Mrs. Vanessa Appiah-Castel, and the College Finance Officer, Dr. James Gambrah.
The visits were aimed at recognising the foundational role played by pioneers and past leaders in shaping the academic and administrative growth of the College of Science, while drawing on their experience to help guide its future direction.
Professor Antwi-Agyei visited Professor Aboagye Menyeh, who served as provost from 2004 to 2010; Professor Robert Kwame Nkum, provost from 2010 to 2013; Professor (Mrs.) Ibok Oduro, who served from 2016 to 2019; and Professor Leonard Amekudzi, who served as provost from 2019 to 2025.
The team also engaged with pioneers of the college, including Professor James Houldsworth Oldham, Professor Victoria Pearl Dzogbefia, Professor Kwabena Nsiah and Professor Sylvester Kojo Danuor.
Professor Antwi-Agyei encouraged the pioneers and former provosts to freely share ideas, concerns and perspectives on the direction of the college, saying he remained open to guidance and constructive criticism.
He said he welcomed their intervention at any time, particularly if they felt he was straying from the college’s core values or long-term vision.
The initiative forms part of the provost’s broader agenda to promote collaboration across generations of leadership and to build on the college’s legacy in teaching, research and community service.
