Aps. Prof. Kwabena Agyapong-Kodua, Vice-Chancellor 


The Vice Chancellor of Pentecost University, Aps. Prof. Kwabena Agyapong-Kodua has said that the PU community has been revived and are expected to move out with the fire to shake the atmosphere with the virtues received from the Holy Spirit at Prayerfest 2021.

Prayerfest, an annual program organised at Pentecost University which seeks to contribute to the spiritual growth of the University community started on Tuesday, July 27, 2021 and ended on Sunday, August 1, 2021 at the James Mckweon Auditorium.

The Vice-Chancellor speaking at the climax of Prayerfest 2021 under the theme "Revive us again O' Lord (Psalm 85:6)" admonished the Pentvars community to take the pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man if they want to cause revival to happen. Emphatically, he added "Don't mistaken this for pleasing men but in the process of pleasing God it must appear right before men".

Speaking on the topic; "The spiritual life of a student which can cause a revival to happen" (Psalms 27:17; Hebrews 4:7;2corinthains 8:20-21), the Vice-Chancellor encouraged all Christians to mimic the gospel. He encourgaged the University community to have what he called "spiritual receptivity"  to be able to hear from the Spirit of God.  He stated that "the various radio and television channels were operating, but you can't hear them until you have tuned to the channel". In the same manner, Christians should be constantly receptive to the channel of the Holy Spirit to hear from Him, as only then can a revival to caused. 

He concluded by expressing that "we must allow ourselves to be connected to the promptings of the spirit" and edged the whole University community to go out there and cause revival by demonstrating the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Country Director of CIPS Ghana Mrs. Stella Aku Addo

 Pentecost University has been accredited by the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS), UK, through the Ghana chapter to offer both degree and professional chartered certificates in Procurement and Supply Chain Management. According to CIPS-Ghana, this is the first of such collaboration in the West African sub-region.

The partnership was out-doored on PU campus on Wednesday 22nd July 2021. It was attended by management and staff of Pentecost University as well as CIPS Ghana. This means that students who study Procurement and Supply Chain Management at Pentecost University will be awarded the regular Bachelor of Science degree and full membership as Chartered Procurement and Supply Chain professionals. This arrangement shortens the convention where graduates in the field are required to write multiple exams at the Institute before becoming chartered members. It takes effect from from September this year as the University prepares to admit students for the next academic year.

Some Procurement and Supply Chain Management students 

 Giving a brief background of the partnership, Dr. Joseph Lanton Mensah, who is the Manager for the Logistics and Supply Chain Management program at Pentecost University said full-fledged negotiations started in June 2020. He said CIPS UK took the University through rigorous assessment metrics. Dr. Mensah cited the evaluation and reconciliation of course structures, quality of faculty members, student internships as some of the metrics. He added that PU’s partnership with Salford University, UK also gave the negotiation process and leapfrog.

Prof. Kwabena Agyapong-Kodua, who gave the welcome speech at the ceremony said the collaboration will give students of Pentecost University competitive urge. He said “Pentecost University acknowledges the keen competition among universities all over the world and therefore, working hard to give our students the competitive urge through collaboration with professional bodies such as CIPS.

 The Country Director of CIPS Ghana Mrs. Stella Aku Addo in her speech reiterated the fact that this is the first time a University in Sub- Saharan Africa is given the accreditation for its students to receive chartered certificates of CIPS alongside its own degrees at the same time. She said her institute will do its part to protect and enhance this collaboration.
