"I acknowledge the disruption of COVID-19 to academic work and the impact on several other sectors."

"In order to realise this vision, it will require a collective effort from all stakeholders."

"It has become clear that a greater majority of needy students are unable to access online resources because they do not have the requisite electronic gadgets."

"I’m ready to make KNUST a global force."

"The growing population of the university required creativity in the approach to handle instruction delivery."

"I hope to increase the visibility of KNUST and improve alumni and government relations."

"The University is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive campus for everyone and that the new facility will play a crucial role in achieving this goal."

"We will, therefore, roll out a project dubbed ‘Support One Needy Student with One Laptop (SONSOL PROJECT)’ in the coming days in collaboration with our philanthropists and key stakeholders."

"We will maintain our focus as Leaders in Change in the training of highly skilled 21st-century entrepreneurial graduates for social, economic and technological advancements."

"I envisage that we could achieve this if all stakeholders would put our shoulders to the wheels by creating strategic opportunities using inspired leadership, active stakeholder participation, highly qualified and motivated human resources, research and entrepreneurship-oriented academic training."

"KNUST stands for relevant research, quality teaching, entrepreneurship training and provision of service to our stakeholders with or without COVID-19."

"But as our motto clearly says, ‘Nyansapo wosane no badwemma’, as an institution, we share the responsibility of thinking deeply to provide innovative solutions and to harness the opportunities inherent in the pandemic."
