Driven by the robust execution of its 2024–2029 Strategic Plan, the University of Ghana has surged 114 places in the newly released Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2027.

Leadership must translate into institutional impact. This formed the core of discussions at the latest edition of the Legon Leadership Academy (LLA) workshop at the University of Ghana.

The LLA is a deliberate platform for grooming and developing leaders with the knowledge, competencies and values needed to inspire others, manage change and advance institutional goals.

Opening the fifth workshop, Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, urged participants to see themselves as ambassadors of the Academy and to apply the knowledge and skills gained to contribute meaningfully to the development of their respective institutions. She stressed that leadership extends beyond formal positions of authority and requires values and practices that enable individuals to drive positive change.

The workshop features modules on Higher Education Institutions, UG Management Structure, and Research Leadership and Management. The sessions are facilitated by experts from the University of Ghana and other institutions.

After eight thought-provoking Inaugural Lectures spanning diverse disciplines, Prof. Kwadwo Appiagyei-Atua delivered the University’s 9th and final Inaugural Lecture for the 2025/2026 academic year.

The lecture, which drew participation from members of the University community and beyond, was anchored on the need to reclaim students’ academic freedom as a critical part of democratic development in Africa. Prof. Appiagyei-Atua advanced this argument through a critical examination of Africa’s intellectual heritage, colonialism, university governance, student participation and the structures that shape academic freedom within universities.

He further challenged the conventional view that places the State at the centre of threats to academic freedom, arguing for greater attention to the internal structures, relationships and practices within universities themselves.
