University of Ghana Homecoming

The University of Ghana is organising a special fair of its programmes which it has dubbed "International Education Fair and 'Homecoming' Event." The programme which began yesterday at the university's Legon campus saw the vice president of the World Bank, Ezikweli, deliver an opening address at the Great Hall.

The event is expected to showcase the research output of the university from the various Units of the University to both the public and private sector and contribute to the development and teaching programmes. The event will also see the various faculties and departments host several programmes; therefore, the entire event is somehow decentralised. It is also expected to run from Monday, 14 to Friday 18 November.

My focus is on the Homecoming itself where Alumni of the university are expected to file into the university to visit their departments, schools etc. and participate in the various programming. I'm attending the even myself, mainly as a former Broadcast Journalist with Radio Univers and a Sportman. Yesterday, I appeared on the Morning Show and handled the Newspaper Review. I'm scheduled to also appear on the literary show Read A Book and also present the 'consumer watch' programme, Area Online. On Thursday, I will host the Morning Show with Citi FM's Shamima Muslim.

Definitely, if you are an Alumni, please show at Legon!
