A source of excellence across generations - Vice President Opoku-Agyemang lauds Mfantsipim
Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang officially inaugurated the 150th-anniversary celebrations of Mfantsipim School on Saturday, 11th April 2026 in Accra. She described the institution as a vital pillar that has reinforced the intellectual foundations of Ghana for over a century. The Vice President said, "For me, from my father's generation to my sons', Mfantsipim has been a source of excellence, discipline, and character formation."
The Vice President noted that the institution's legacy is rooted in the vision of the Methodist Church (formerly the Wesleyan Mission). She pointed to the rivalry between Mfantsipim and schools such as Adisadel College as a model for modern Ghana. Professor Opoku-Agyemang issued a dual mandate: the expansion of educational access must be pursued with the same vigour as the preservation of high standards. The Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, announced substantial state support for the education of persons with disabilities and the completion of projects at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
The Vice President described the current student body as the "keepers of a proud legacy" and urged them to embody the school's core values of integrity and service. She lauded the Mfantsipim Old Boys Association (MOBA), whose continued support she deemed "invaluable" in advancing the institution's facilities and academic standing. She concluded by congratulating the entire Mfantsipim community on reaching this historic milestone and said, "May the next 150 years be even more impactful."
