Kingdom Excellence Leadership University awards Doctorates in Divinity and humanity to 5 pastors
The Kingdom Excellence Leadership University, a private religious leadership institution has awarded five ministers with Doctorates in Divinity and Humanity.
The recipients included Apostle Dr. I. K. Arthur, Rev. Dr. Richard Mensah-Dzah, Apostle Dr. Prince Charles Asiamah, Bishop Dr. Joshua Maccarthy and Rev Dr Augustine Quainoo.
The event was part of the school’s 25th Honourary Awards and Ordination ceremony held in Accra at which certificates and Citation of Honour were presented to them.
Addressing guests at the ceremony, the Chancellor of the University, Bishop Dr. Joseph Mihaye, urged the recipients to exhibit commitment, dedication, and a deep sense of empathy in their respective spheres.
According to Bishop Mihaye, true leadership goes beyond traditional notions of power and influence to creating a harmonious society where individuals can thrive with conflicts resolved peacefully to enable communities to flourish.
According to the Bishop, peace is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires continuous effort, collaboration, and a commitment to resolve conflicts through nonviolent means.
“By embracing the pillars of the Positive Peace Framework, you can leverage your positions of leadership to foster trust, dialogue, and cooperation among diverse communities which is your responsibility in promoting inclusivity and equality towards social justice,” he said.
Apostel Dr. I.K. Arthur, on behalf of the recipients, thanked the school for the knowledge planted in them to foster positive peace in all their endeavours.

The Ghana First Alliance, a movement, is today staging a protest in Accra against the renewal of the mining licence of Gold Fields, a mining company owned by a South African citizen operating in Ghana.
The demonstration, dubbed “Operation No Contract Renewal: South Africa Must Go,” is being held to demand that government does not renew the company’s licence.
The group says their protest is linked to recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa by a protest group known as “march to march.”
They claim that many Ghanaian-owned shops were looted, while others were attacked, with some cases leading to deaths.
They also say the situation forced the Ghana government to evacuate thousands of Ghanaians from South Africa back to Ghana.
Speaking to some of the protesters, they said they will move to several key locations in Accra, including the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Jubilee House, where they intend to present their petition.
The protesters are calling on government to terminate the Gold Fields contract and hand over the mining concessions to capable Ghanaians to manage.

Ghana’s First Lady, Lordina Mahama, has made a generous donation to the country’s national female Under-17 and Under-20 teams – Black Maidens and Black Princesses- as they continue preparations for major international assignments.
The donation, made on Friday, May 22, was presented on behalf of the First Lady by the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, at the GFA Technical Centre in Prampram.
The gesture forms part of efforts to motivate and support Ghana’s young female footballers as they prepare to represent the country on the international stage.
The donation included essential food items and toiletries aimed at supporting the welfare and well-being of the players and technical teams.
The donation included cartons of Milo, T-rolls, soft drinks, toiletries, and a range of essential supplies aimed at supporting the welfare of the players, enhancing camp conditions, and easing preparations ahead of their respective assignments.
The Black Maidens are currently engaged in preparations for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers and are set to take on Liberia women’s national under-17 football team in the second-leg encounter in Liberia this weekend.
Meanwhile, the Black Princesses have already secured qualification to the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup after overcoming Uganda in the qualifiers, extending Ghana’s remarkable record to eight consecutive appearances at the tournament.
The donation by the First Lady was expected to boost morale within both camps while reinforcing national support for the young female footballers who continue to make the country proud.
