August 3, 2026 Dr. Paul Kwadwo Addo's tenure of office as Registrar for the College of Engineering has come to an impactful but brief end. He handed over on 31st July to Mr. Daniel Kumi Djan, marking the conclusion of a period defined by strategic innovation and administrative vitality.
As part of efforts to ensure a smooth transition and continuity in the administration of the College, the outgoing Registrar held a handover meeting with the newly appointed Registrar.
Reflecting on his time in office, Dr. Addo leaves behind a portfolio of notable achievements that have strengthened the College's administrative framework and stakeholder engagement. As part of his key accomplishments, he spearheaded the establishment of the College PR Committee, a body created to harmonise and streamline the various public relations and communication strategies across the College’s departments. He also led a distinguished delegation from the College to the 2026 West Africa Hub Convening in Lomé, Togo, from March 25–27, where the College showcased its academic and research prowess on a regional stage.
In a move to enhance academic quality and student support, Dr. Addo oversaw the development of a Feedback Report System for industrial attachments, developed in collaboration with the CoE Alumni Office, ensuring better tracking and evaluation of student internships. He also actively supported engagements with key student groups, facilitating meetings with International Students, Course Representatives, and Student Leaders to foster a more inclusive academic environment.
His tenure also saw meaningful improvements to staff welfare and workspace amenities. He supported the upgrade of the Senior Members Coffee Room with the provision of a new television set, DSTV decoder, and a security door, while the Drivers’ Room also received a television set and a refrigerator for improved comfort. Committed to professional development, he championed Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training for all faculty members on Assessment in Higher Education, as well as targeted training sessions for young lecturers to build pedagogical capacity. Additionally, he supported a specialised safety training programme for cleaning staff on the proper handling of chemicals used in cleaning, underscoring his attention to health and safety across all levels of the College.
The College appreciates the commitment and service of the outgoing Registrar and welcomes the incoming Registrar, wishing him success in his new role. As the College of Engineering turns this new page, the legacy of Dr. Addo’s brief yet impactful stewardship is expected to resonate for years to come.
