In a strategic move to build future-ready leaders, the University of Ghana Business School (UGBS), in partnership with Maxwell Investments Group and the Africa School of Entrepreneurship (ASoE), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at providing students with practical leadership and entrepreneurial training.
The official signing ceremony, held at the University of Ghana, brought together key stakeholders from academia and the private sector to align efforts toward shaping a new generation of purpose-driven, impact-oriented leaders.
Speaking at the event, Professor Justice Bawole, Dean of Students at the University of Ghana Business School, highlighted the importance of bridging theory and practice in leadership education.
“This partnership is timely and necessary. Our students must be equipped not only with academic knowledge but also with real-world leadership capabilities that respond to the demands of today’s dynamic world,” he stated.
Dr. Maxwell Ampong, CEO of Maxwell Investments Group, emphasised the long-term vision behind the collaboration, describing it as an investment in human capital that will contribute to Ghana’s broader development agenda.
“This is more than a partnership. it’s a platform for transformation. We are bringing practical leadership lessons and entrepreneurial tools directly to students, enabling them to take ownership of their future,” Dr. Ampong noted.
The Africa School of Entrepreneurship will play a critical role in delivering mentorship programs, workshops, and business simulations designed to sharpen students’ decision-making and leadership skills.
Present at the event were; UN Global Compact Network Ghana, Zenith Bank (Ghana) Ltd, Deloitte Ghana, AfCFTA Young Entrepreneurs Federation, Metropolitan Insurance Ghana Ltd, Pan African Savings & Loans, Wilmar Ghana Limited, Koranteng & Koranteng Legal Advisors, African Brand Warrior, Finfact Global and Tradeline Consult.
As stakeholders look to deepen collaboration, the partnership marks a significant milestone in preparing young people to lead with integrity, innovation, and a deep sense of responsibility in both local and global arenas.
