Setting out his vision for the institution, Professor Aheto said the University of Cape Coast must continue to strengthen its reputation as a centre of excellence in teaching, research, innovation and community engagement while responding to the rapidly evolving demands of higher education.

The University of Cape Coast (UCC) on Saturday, August 1, formally invested Professor Denis Worlanyo Aheto as its 12th Vice-Chancellor, marking the beginning of a new chapter for one of Ghana's premier higher education institutions.

Professor Aheto used the occasion to reflect on the progress made during his ten-month tenure as Acting Vice-Chancellor, having assumed the role in September 2025 following his appointment by the University's Governing Council in accordance with a directive from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC).
