The Garden City University at Kenyasi in Kumasi has presented its presidential charter to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi for his support leading to the realisation of a fully-fledged university status.

This was when the management of the University paid a courtesy call on the Asantehene during the first Awukudea of the year.

The university was one of the 14 universities that were granted a pres­idential charter by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in December 2024.

With the presidential charter, the university would from hence issue its certificate and would no longer seek the approval of their mentoring universities before mounting new programmes.
