  We need a seasoned Administrator with proven track record. I wish someone outside academia can be selected to inject some industry experience. Our graduates can't create anything. Just so so theories

  Professors with Academic Pomposity. Booklong but of no substance to alleviate the suffering of the poor people in the country. Most of the students they teach are more interested in staying in air conditioned offices and drinking tea than providing any meaningful contribution to the economy. Like lecturers like students.

  It would appear to me that commentators would wish an in-house appointment, going by prefered names mentioned so far and their backgrounds. So as to maintain the status quo at KNUST. Currently stale in its outlook. Parochial.
  However this is a very important national institution that must for once look beyond those known to have been well established/ associated with the institution bearing in mind that a distinguished outside brain might be the wind of change that, in my view, the institution could do with.

  Oh too many illiterates in Ghana are not aware Prof. Assasie won a landmark victory against the terrible woman VC who has destroyed the University. Prof. Assasie has a high moral standard and integrity which Rita Akosua Dickson cannot stand and she tried using kangaroo committee to destroy the man and it has backfired on him. The man is handsome and clean. He strict and disciplined. He is not a thief and work very hard. Akosua Dickson and her small boys just envy him

  He took the university management to court for their undue process and unfairness and won. I see you have conveniently omitted that in your petty comment

  Assasie-Oppong would be a terrible choice. He is a dis-unifier and causes confusion everywhere. There have been several petitions against him by both staff and students.

  Bro. The man is simply a disciplinarian and always demands excellence. Our systems often accuse such people as “difficult”. But let’s be honest with ourselves, if we really want to see very meaningful and innovative standards, this would be one of the best appointments to be ever made in the university.

  Truth be told Prof Assasie-Oppong is the man KNUST need as VC if Ghanaians wants the university develop. He was the Head of Department who made all my final Master of Architecture classmates finish school for the first time in the history of the department. It had not happened before and he did same the second year of his headship. The man is just disciplined and does not tolerate nonsense. He is focused and He does boot lick and speaks his mind based on rules and regulations. He really knows the University rules in and out and he works with the rules. He speaks to power with clarity and doesn’t speak to people for favors. He is soft spoken but doesn’t mince words at all. He is an accomplished academic and architect. Who doesn’t know how he transformed the International programmes office in KNUST and made many staff and students benefit. He is not corrupt. Corruptible people and those lacking integrity don’t like him and actually hate him. Infact some wish him dead but for his fortitude he has survived all the arrows thrown at him. All the people who have been named as possible VC have been working with the current VC Rita Akosua Dickson but they are all afraid of her to tell her the truth and the University has deteriorated, standards have fallen and the University is clothed in indiscipline. The man Assasie-Oppong has been consistent with his discipline life and does not mess up at all. He is not an angel but he is a fine man with great personable qualities. Give him the opportunity and get closer and you will know what I am saying. If the University wants to be fair and see quality development then Assasie-Oppong is the one who KNUST needs to clean the system. Those who have ears let them hear and those who have eyes let them see. God save KNUST.

  Prof Assase Oppong is a man with vision who is ahead of his generation. The man is one who has promoted all the young lecturers and other lecturers in KNUST. As students of KNUST Business School and many others from different departments have we gained scholarships to study abroad because of Prof Assasie. The records are there in KNUST for any genuine persons who want to see. Any serious university will write a book about the achievements to encourage students instead of pulling the man down.
