The President of the University of Ghana Business School (UGBS), Dr. Kweku Ofosu Asare has underscored the need for unity among the alumni.

He made this statement at the UGBS alumini end of year dinner which was held at the University of Ghana Business School in Legon on Friday, December 17, 2021.

According to him, the main purpose of the annual dinner is to bring members together, interact and make plans for the coming years.

"It also gives us the opportunity for the young and old alumni to interact, network and outline their program," he added.

Again, Dr. Kweku Ofosu Asare indicated that the event serves as the preparation for the Business Excellence Awards which was launched last year but slated for April 2022.

Dr. Kweku in conclusion further briefed the gathering on a series of events which were observed in the alumni calendar this year.

"This year was a great year, as all events held were honored respectfully.

"For instance, we went to a farm to celebrate the Farmers' day with Cocoa farmers in Kwawu. The main motive of this was to unite the farmers together and make them have a feel of this important celebration as it has become a norm that the farmers' day is mostly celebrated by those in the cities.

"This is disheartening because those who are producing the cocoa, most of them do not have the chance to even have a taste of the chocolate.

"However this act has come to stay as we will celebrate every Farmers' day with the cocoa farmers. Starting from February 24, (Chocolate day). We also visited orphanages, gave out, interacted and made them also feel like a part of society," he said.

Dr. Asare feels optimistic that this annual event, UGBS alumini end of year dinner, will live up to its purpose and expectations.
