He continued to admonish the Principal to use Psalm 78:70 as a guide for his stewardship having in mind and never losing sight of the fact that he was chosen, selected and called out of the lot to lead God’s people and he should therefore dispatch his duties with integrity, diligence, respect in the fulfilment of the charge.
He also appealed to the staff to work hand in hand with the new Principal to bring the college to a higher height.
In his acceptance speech, Very Rev. Kwesi Nkum Wilson (PhD) acknowledged all the dignitaries present for gracing the occasion, the founder fathers of the college, past principals, staff and students of the college for the supported given him so far.
