Two Nigerians have won the top prize at the 9th
Graduation ceremony of the Accra Institute of Technology (AIT), a leading
technology-focus private university in Ghana, reports ITRealms.
Confirming
this, the university in a press statement made available to ITRealms said that
Mr. Peter Hunnoho Moses, graduated with a First Class Honours Bachelor of
Science Degree in Information Technology and was judged the overall best
student of the graduation class with a cumulative GPA of 3.99.
The
overall best student in the Female category went to Ms. Odinaka Abel Favour who
graduated with a First Class Bachelor of Science Degree in Business
Administration with a cumulative GPA of 3.90.
Speaking
at the ceremony, which saw the graduation of Bachelor’s degree holders and
PhDs, the President of the University, Professor Clement Dzidonu, noted that
this is a major achievement given that, AIT has the toughest and the highest
grading system within the university system in Ghana.
“To
get an A grade in a subject at AIT you must score above 90 and to get a First
Class with a cumulative GPA close to the maximum 4.2, means that a student must
consistently get A grades across the board,” Dzidonu said.
Also
speaking, the Deputy Minister for Education in-charge of Tertiary Education,
Hon. Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa, congratulated the university for its programmes
cutting across science, technology and engineering which in his view is in line
with the Ghanaian government’s determination to implement and enforce the 60:40
policy guidelines aimed at giving priority to science, mathematics and
engineering programmes in our tertiary institutions.
He
also said, the Ministry of Education through the National Accreditation Board
(NAB) and the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) has drawn-up new
guidelines that will ensure that the accreditation of new universities and
academic programmes meet these guidelines.
“To be approved for accreditation, a university must more or less show that it will be like AIT in its academic programme offerings,” he said.
Ghana,
he said, is currently attracting over 7000 foreign students from close to 60
countries to its private and public universities annually. Stressing that the government is mindful of
the internationalization of higher education and the Ministry of Education is
empowering its statutory higher education regulatory bodies to ensure that the
high academic standards of a number of the Ghanaian universities including AIT
are internationally benchmarked to continue to attract more foreign students.

I totally agree with your statement that education is a true path to success as it leads us to the success. The thing which want to add is education polish our skills and also gives us something new to learn. We can read interesting essays from cheap essay writing services because it is good source of such things. We only can get advantage from technology if we are educated, an illiterate person can’t even use a smart phone.
