KNUST VC names Sarkodie ambassador
During the visit, Prof Agyare presented Sarkodie with a framed VVIP package bearing a gold-coloured replica of the university’s entrance.
He explained that the special gift is reserved for very important personalities who visit the campus. According to the VC, the entrance depicted on the plaque stands on land donated by Otumfuo. Prof Agyare then announced the honour, saying:
“We are also, maybe formally or informally, appointing you as an ambassador for the university.”
Speaking further, he said the university needed personalities like Sarkodie to support its vision. According to him, the rapper’s presence showed he believed in the institution, and students could learn from his journey.
