The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has pledged his unflinching support for the newly inducted Vice Chancellor of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Prof. Christian Agyare.
The reassurance came days after his induction as the 13th Vice Chancellor of the institution.
During the courtesy visit on Monday, August 3, 2026, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Christian Agyare used the occasion to formally convey his appreciation for the honour of his investiture held over the weekend, where promised to serve wholeheartedly.
His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in his speech stated that, his doors would always be open to the VC for direction, counsel and consultation on any matter.
“Don’t drag your feet in coming here. We will offer you all the needed support,” he assured.
Otumfuo also encouraged him to live up to the confidence reposed in him by leveraging his rich experience within the institution.
“It is your turn as Vice Chancellor, and we are confident that you can do the work, and that is why you were appointed,” he added.
His Majesty further cautioned him against heeding any commands that may be attributed to his outfit by anyone seeking undue favours.
“If I need you to do anything, I will call you personally. If anyone attributes anything to me, verify with me first,” he stated.
His Majesty also rallied the support of management behind the new VC.
The KNUST delegation also included Mr Benjamin Owusu Boampong, Registrar; Dr Charles Nsiah, Finance Officer; and Dr Daniel Norris Bekoe, University Relations Officer.
