Prof. Samuel Agyei-Mensah, Provost, College of Humanities who inaugurated the Committee explained that with the adoption of the collegiate system in 2014, the Statute of the University required each Centre or Institute to have a Management Committee. He further noted that the rationale for the institution of Management Committees in the University is to serve as an advisory body. He commended CEGENSA for the immense role that it has played in the past, especially with the development and the introduction of the foundational Gender courses. He expressed hope in members of the Committee and urged them to support the activities of Centre in order to promote the image of the University.
