The African University College of Communications (AUCC) held its 18th Congregation and Graduation Ceremony at its Discovery House campus this Saturday December 18. Speaking on the theme “The role of tertiary education in entrepreneurship for national development”, Professor Isaac Abeiku Blankson, AUCC president, said university education should prepare graduates with the requisite skills and training to identify opportunities and garner the needed resources to turn those opportunities into viable businesses that will sustain them and others.

He further charged graduates to always remember the vision of the University and the knowledge and skills they have acquired. He urged them to go out into the world with a sense of commitment to public service – to the nation, to communities, and to their chosen professions.

Guest speaker for the occasion was Samuel Attah Mensah, Chief Executive Officer Of Omni Media Limited, owners of CitiTV, CitiFM etc. Mr. Atta Mensah, who is also head of Notice Board, encouraged the new graduates to take advantage of the new opportunities offered by the computer era to become competitive entrepreneurs.

“It’s about self-employment. Use what you’re learnt to make yourselves entrepreneurs.”

In all 299 students received deserved certificates including 60 post-graduates (for work in Communications, business and administration) and 239 undergrads in BA Communication and Business administration.  In its 20 years, over 3,000 students have passed through AUCC.
