The Annual Dinner and Awards night for members of the University of Ghana Jubilee Choir took place recently at the Great Hall.
The ceremony, which falls under the auspices of the Chaplaincy Board, in collaboration with the Public Affairs Directorate is an occasion held in honour of the outgoing executives of the Choir, and also to welcome the new executives as well as honour all members of the choir for the role they play in accompanying major events of the University.
In his welcome address, Dr. Benjamin Amakye-Boateng, Director of the University of Ghana Jubilee Choir reiterated that the dinner was in recognition of the services and sacrifices of past executives of the choir and a send-off to its final year students. He was full of praise for the entire membership of the Choir.
