Delivering the welcome address, the Acting Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, mentioned that Mrs. Emelia Naa Kwantsua Agyei-Mensah succeeds Mrs. Mercy Haizel-Ashia who assumed office in August 2013 as the first female Registrar of the University of Ghana.

The Chancellor of the University, Mrs. Mary Chinery-Hesse, who declared the purpose of gathering, noted that the ceremony had to be held as scheduled in order to prevent an administrative vacuum as the tenure of the outgoing Registrar ended on July 31, 2021.
