He urged the students to make good use of the moral and academic training they acquired to enhance the development of the nation.

Mr Dankyi-Koranteng thanked the university authorities for the honour done him and said since education gave the platform for people to add value to themselves; students should take advantage and prepare themselves for the job market.

He said the marketplace was in dire need of problem-solvers and student's ability to succeed in the competitive market was linked to the strength of their problem solving skills.

Mr Dankyi-Koranteng said; “Achieving the extraordinary required doing more than the ordinary in addition to discipline and courage which cannot be achieved on a silver platter”.

He urged students to make meaningful contribution towards the development of the nation, saying; “Seek results for whatever time spent, energy exerted and thinking that goes into your jobs”.

Mr Dankyi-Koranteng advised the students to take their education seriously and read wide beyond their courses of study to broaden their knowledge.
