Outgoing Central Regional Police Commander Introduces His Successor to Vice-Chancellor

The outgoing Central Regional Police Commander, DCOP Ransford Ninson and the incoming Central Regional Police Commander, DCOP Yaagy Akuribah have paid courtesy call on the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. D. D. Kuupole in his office.

Receiving the visitors, Prof. Kuupole stated that the University would continue to partner the Police to fight crime both on campus and the surrounding communities. He noted that through the joint patrol by the Police and the University Security, the crime rate on campus has drastically reduced.

Explaining the purpose of the visit, Mr. Ninson said he has been transferred to the National Police Headquarters as the Director General in charge of Administration as part of the recent reshuffle in the Ghana Police Service. He indicated that the visit was therefore to introduce the new Regional Commander and also inform the Vice-Chancellor of his new designation.
Mr. Ninson commended UCC for establishing cordial relationship with the Regional Command. He noted that the Police continue to enhance their knowledge through admission of staff to pursue various programmes and also benefited from seminars, conferences and other educative programmes on campus.

He entreated him to build on the good legacies of his predecessor and also bring his rich experience to bear as the Central Regional Police Commander.
