Pentecost University College (PUC) on Tuesday inaugurated a committee charged to study the feasibility of the establishment of a Faculty of Law, advice on infrastructure and determine admission requirement into the various programmes.
Professor Kwame Boasiako Omane Antwi, Vice Rector of PUC, who inaugurated the committee, noted that Ghanaians were facing challenges
in the implementation of laws but not the availability of laws.
“We believe that our law students would be special, owing to our core brand - The undiluted Teachings and Christ-like living standards
- set by the Church of Pentecost,” he said.
Professor Antwi said graduates from their school would, apart from law, involve themselves in other welfare activities of the society and take part in nation building as contributing their quota
to the proper implementation of various welfare schemes for the poor.
He added that they believed their graduates would play a pivotal role combating tribalism, illiteracy, armed robbery and exploitation
in the name of community and religion.
“PUC would like to use our Law Faculty to keep the character of our citizens and the country afloat and not weigh anything in momentary terms; help government to uphold human rights of everyone;
fight violence, bribery and corruption; promote harmony and spread brotherhood to help the disabled and deprived,” he said.
The university is also contributing its quota to the “Better Ghana Agenda” by educating law students for leadership roles in their careers and in their communities.
The executive management of PUC set itself a 10-year Agenda - “Agenda 2017” - which has formed its strategic vision.
The purpose of this vision is to ensure that by 2017, PUC must achieve a fully fledged private university status, which is to be in a position to award its own certificates and degrees.
