Kennedy Agyapong's legacy gift to Adisadel College

The proposed dormitory would be a substantial addition to Adisadel College's residential infrastructure, potentially accommodating an entire generation of students at a time.

For a school with deep traditions and a loyal alumni base, a facility of this scale carries considerable weight, both practically and symbolically.

The US-based alumni page Up Santaclausians USA shared the news on Facebook on Tuesday, 29 September 2026, framing the pledge as one of the defining moments of the Golden Jubilee celebrations.

The group described the gesture as proof that the bonds formed at Adisadel in 1981 remain strong enough to translate into meaningful investment in the school's future decades later.

Kennedy Agyapong, a prominent Ghanaian businessman and former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, has maintained a close connection to Adisadel over the years.

The announcement adds a tangible dimension to what has largely been a milestone reunion for Santa 81.
