Dame Margaret Archer was confident that Kuenyehia will contribute significantly to the university’s long tradition of teaching and research excellence "based on his entrepreneurship track record and management and leadership skills in Africa."

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia whose undergraduate degree is from the University of Buckingham said, "Kuenyehia’s appointment to Buckingham is yet again a demonstration of the wealth of intellectual talent this country has. I am confident of he will do Ghana proud and wish him well."
