Professor Jophus Anamuah-Mensah, the former Vice-Chancellor of the Methodist University Ghana, has urged resident universities to use current times to ‘strategize and integrate’ African theory of knowledge and traditions in their ‘curricula and knowledge production’.
He said this while at the 21st congregation of the Methodist University at Dansoman in Accra, explaining that it would make universities more responsive to the country’s developmental needs.
“Universities should serve as spaces for learning, unlearning, relearning, unthinking, and rethinking the oppressive and dominant thoughts, philosophies, and patterns of our interactions with colonial forces over the past centuries,” he said.
At the graduation, a total of 143 students passed out as postgraduates: 418 undergraduates, 40 diploma students, and 20 certificate students.
