The Vice Chancellor of the University (VC), Professor Kwabena Agyapong-Kodua in his address, expressed profound gratitude to God Almighty for His grace and to the university community for their unwavering support during his four-year term.
He remarked on the unique vision of PU which emphasises on research, skills development, integrity, and biblical values that has led to the recognition of the university as the best with Christian values and ethics.
The VC said the University moved a step further in research when it secured a four-year European Commission (EC) grant totaling €2.69 million (GH?33.27 million).
According to him, the grant, awarded to a consortium of five globally recognised technology, research and educational institutions including Pentecost University, focused on research areas such as AI, Cyber-Physical Systems, Robotics, Laser Technologies, and Lifecycle modeling for electric vehicle manufacturing.

He encouraged the students to continue working hard for potential impact on their communities and beyond, saying “The knowledge acquired here is the courage to help solve problems and bring change to the communities and the nations.”
Some graduating students were honoured, with Perpetual Osei Tutu, a Bachelor of Science (BSc) student in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, receiving the Special Departments Award and also emerging as the overall Best Graduating Student.
In a valedictory speech read on behalf of the graduating students, Perpetual Osei Tutu commended the institution for providing a nurturing environment that fosters determination, self-confidence, and practical skills essential for success in the professional world.
She encouraged her fellow graduates to utilise their knowledge and skills to make a positive impact on society, adding that “We do not need magic to change the world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves.”
