Graduating students who turn up late for their congregation must have their degree ceremonies deferred for at least one year, Mr Justice Victor Jones M. Dotse, University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) Council Chairman, has said.
He insisted that under no circumstance should a person who has spent years in academia, pursuing a career degree should be late to an even as sacred as his or her congregation.
Mr Justice Dotse, who is a Supreme Court Judge, made the remarks at the 6th Congregation of UHAS at the main campus at Sokode-Lokoe, near Ho, on November 12, this year.
While the ceremony was ongoing, some graduating students were still trickling in.
The UHAS Council Chairman said that what was even more bizarre was how some students were still outside taking photographs while the ceremony was in progress.
He said that the conduct of those graduating students amounted to gross indiscipline and disrespect with impunity.
Mr Justice Dotse observed that discipline was declining rapidly among young people in the communities, “but UHAS will not tolerate any form of indiscipline from students.”
On other matters, he said that UHAS’ mission was to provide quality education, advance knowledge through scholarship and research to improve health and quality of life.
The university also seeks to be a pre-eminent health research educational institution dedicated to community service, and is doing quite well in that regard, Mr Justice Dotse added.
He said that UHAS had been making conscious efforts with regard to the research agenda and it was necessary that the government supported that activity with the necessary financial assistance to the university’s policies.
In that vein, the council chairman said the national research agenda must focus on clear implementation strategies that inured to the benefits of society.
“Public universities like UHAS must be supported timely with adequate research funds through national budgetary allocations.
“It is trite knowledge that most great nations develop through scientific research, thereby making them responsive and resilient in the face of social problems, and Ghana must learn from this global example,” he stressed.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
