“Well deserved! Congratulations Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, my Vice President,” he wrote.

The Distinguished Fellow Award was conferred by the University of Cape Coast in recognition of Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s exceptional service to the university and her significant contributions to governance and education in Ghana.

The accolade also celebrates her enduring relationship with UCC, where she has served as both an alumna and academic leader, shaping the institution and influencing the nation’s education sector.
