Napo to receive Honorary Doctorate Degree from UCC
The University of Cape Coast (UCC) will honour the Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh with a Honorary Doctorate Degree.
The award would be presented to the Energy Minister and other selected distinguished personalities in the country at the UCC campus on Saturday, July 29, 2023.
Napo, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Manhyia South Constituency in Kumasi is been awarded for important roles played to help accelerate the proper and effective development of the country.
His name has virtually become synonymous with winning prestigious and enviable awards, no wonder he has been a recipient of many awards.
His positive contributions to the transformation of the country have especially been felt in both the Energy and Education Ministries during the last six years.
For instance, during his tenure as the Education Minister, Napo worked assiduously to introduce the NPP government’s flagship policy, the free Senior High School (SHS).
Napo, who is noted for his hard work, has also written his name in the letters of gold at the Energy Ministry as he has worked to ensure a vibrant ministry so far.
Napo’s extraordinary works in the NPP government has earned him similar Honorary Doctorate Degrees from other top universities in the country in recent times.
For instance, in May 2021, the University of Education, Winneba, honoured Napo with a Honorary Doctorate Degree in recognition of his exemplary works.
Just two months later, July 2021, the University of Professional Studies (UPS), in Accra, also followed suit by awarding Napo with a Honorary Doctorate Degree.
On Saturday, July 29, 2023, the UCC would be honouring Napo and other distinguished people such as Dr. K.K. Sarpong and Ehunabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI during a Special Congregation.
The other personalities to be honoured by the UCC are Prof. Harold Stwart Amonoo-Koufi, Dr. Deborah Rose, Dr. Yaw Adu-Agyei Gyamfi and Prof. Daniel A. Wubah.
