The African University of Communications and Business (AUCB) in Accra yesterday officially launched its Presidential Charter, marking a significant milestone in its journey as a fully-chartered university.

This milestone follows the presidential charter granted by the former President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo, on De­cember last year, allowing AUCB, among other private tertiary insti­tutions, to operate as an indepen­dent degree-awarding institution.

The founder of AUCB, Mr Kojo Yankah, in a speech acknowledged the institution's humble begin­nings as the African Institute for Journalism and Communication (AIJC), and its subsequent growth into the African University College of Communications (AUCC) be­fore its current transformation.

Mr Yankah expressed gratitude to the staff, past and present students, and management for their dedication and hard work, particularly the Abeiku Blankson team, who played a crucial role in securing the charter title.
