During the visit, Professor Codjoe held a meeting with the Centre’s staff to glean first-hand information about ongoing activities and initiatives.  He affirmed the College’s commitment to establish a committee tasked with evaluating the sustainability proposals submitted by Centre Coordinators, ultimately making recommendations for decision-making by Management.

In his discussions, the Provost underscored the need for innovative strategies to bolster the Centre’s competitive edge.  He encouraged the Centre to explore opportunities for revenue generation, pushing them to surpass expectations in both service quality and delivery.  This, he firmly believed, would secure the Centre’s preeminent position in the face of mounting competition. 

The visit also provided an invaluable platform for the Centre staff to engage with officers responsible for human resource, finance and other administrative aspects.
