The newly inducted officers of the council include:
- Prof. Emmanuel A. Boate – National Council Chairman
- Rev. Prof. Ivy Drafor-Amenyah – Vice Chairperson
- Rev. Mrs. Nana Kegya Appiah-Adu – Honorary Secretary
- Mr. Moses K. Temanu – Honorary Treasurer
Prof. Boate holds a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Agricultural Economics from the University of Ghana, Legon, and a Master’s degree in Banking and Finance from FINAFRICA, Milan, Italy. His areas of expertise include Banking Operations, Agricultural Finance, Microfinance, Strategic Planning, Business Process Re-engineering, and Project Planning, Management, and Evaluation.
In his inaugural address, Prof. Boate, a results-oriented corporate executive with over 35 years of leadership experience in Ghana, called for unity and hard work to uphold and enhance the reputation of SU Ghana. He urged the new council members to serve with commitment and integrity.
“I dedicate my new role as your National Council Chairman to delivering leadership that will transform lives through faith and truly help people know Christ and live His Word,” he stated.
