As a university with about 50 percent of its students consisting of non-Ghanaian citizens, Academic City believes that promoting the continent’s diverse cultures is key to ensure unity among the African people, which will significantly contribute to the development of the continent.

Dr RansfordAntwi, Head of the Social Sciences Department at Academic City, stressed the essential role that diversity plays in bringing people of diverse cultural backgrounds together in one place.

According to him, it was critical for Africans to unify and take use of our variety in order to bring progress to the continent’s economy.

“It is up to us as Africans to harness our variety to bring our natural resources and knowledge together in order to ensure that we become a major player in the global economic landscape”, he noted.

Mr William Anosike, President of Academic City Students’ Representative Council, encouraged the students to form constructive relationships and to take advantage of the experience of their networks in order to advance their academic and professional careers.
