THE Vice Chancellor of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Professor Kwasi Kwafo Adarkwa, has said the university would not hesitate to revoke the affiliation of institutions which flout set regulations.
Prof. Adarkwa disclosed this during the signing of a memorandum of understanding to complete the affiliation procedure of Data Link University College in Kumasi at the weekend.
This affiliation would see KNUST issuing certificates in various disciplines to deserving graduates of Data Link starting December 2009.
Prof. Adarkwa noted that KNUST as an institution was committed to the provision of quality industrial and entrepreneurial instruction for its products and would not compromise this vision if the over 14 private and public institutions they were mentoring defied this inspiration.
He cautioned the affiliate institutions against the engagement of substandard tutors, as well as admitting students with appalling results.
“We as an institution would not concede our image at the expense of juvenile institutions who may want to make money a priority at the expense of students who are craving for quality tertiary education,” Prof. Adarkwa remarked.
The President of Data Link, Mr Ernest Ansah, expressed profound appreciation to the chancellor and the governing council of KNUST for the affiliation.
He said it would go a long way to help his institution overcome the challenge of certification which had become a major source of worry to both parents and students.
Mr Ansah paid glowing tribute to Prof. Adarkwa for playing a pivotal role in ensuring that the institute was finally associated with the university and pledged to live up to the standards and expectations set by KNUST and hoped their relationship would go a long way in helping Data Link produce quality products to meet the country’s challenging job market.
Data Link started as a charitable organisation in 1990 through the distribution of computers to public basic schools nationwide.
Mr Ansah’s vision to offer information technology instruction to workers and students saw the organisation metamorphosing into a computer school in 1995.
In 2007 the institution was accredited by the National Accreditation Board (NAB) to run degree programmes in Computer Science, Information Studies and Business Administration with options in Banking and Finance, Human Resource Management, Humanities, Marketing and Accounting.

GET MORE PEOPLE TO TAKE INSURANCE POLICY (PAGE 54)
THE Chief Executive Officer of Vanguard Assurance Company, Mr Gideon Amenyedor, has challenged stakeholders in the insurance industry to create opportunities within the sector to encourage Ghanaian households to subscribe to insurance policies.
Mr Amenyedor was speaking at the presentation of a plaque and a citation to Mr Rudolph Matey, the resident Director of Process and Plants Sales Ghana Limited, dealers in mining and construction equipment in Tema.
The award is in recognition of Mr Matey’s contribution and continuous patronage of the company’s product and services.
Mr Amenyedor expressed regret that Ghanaians placed less importance on the need to take insurance as a result of negative perceptions on policies and products offered by companies.
The CEO indicated that Mr Matey had not only been a client but had also been working around the clock as an ambassador for the company, which, he said, had seen several individuals and organisations signing onto Vanguard’s policies across board and “we as an entity see this gesture worth rewarding”, Mr Amenyedor remarked.
He commended Mr Matey for his outstanding role which had contributed immensely to Vanguard being adjudged the best insurance company of the year at the 2008 Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIMG) awards, giving “us the opportunity to win back to back following a similar feat in 2007, “an achievement for which other industry players would go to lengths of paying monies to be named”, he said.
Mr Matey expressed appreciation to Vanguard for the gesture.He said the award would not only go all out to inspire him but would serve as a motivation to provide excellent leadership to his staff.
He dedicated the award to his employees, whom he described as providing a conducive environment for him to serve them.
Mr Matey noted that his company in its quest to ensure that customers had value for their money, was reviewing its proposals to get all equipment supplied fully insured before being handed to customers, a move he said would see an efficient service delivery.
Process and Plants Sales Ghana Limited is a joint Ghana-UK partnership, which is the major suppliers of mining, construction and process equipment in West Africa.
The company, since its inception in Ghana, has contributed immensely to mining communities through the provision of social amenities as measures adopted to ease the life of residents in these communities.
