Professor Obiri-Danso stated that the constitution of the Council is important in the administration of the University and emphasised the need for the Council to familiarise its relationship with management to help position it clearly as stated in the Statutes of the institution.

He described the Council as the “bridge” between management and the people and admonished them to take keen be interest in the happenings of all sections in the University and to have the welfare of the people.

Mr. Reuben K. A. Glover, Chairman of the new Council, thanked management and the outgoing council and promised to be a partner in development.
