Nicholas Duncan-Williams, general overseer, Action Chapel International, has urged matriculants of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) to have a vision and be guided by it.
He said the vision will be the blueprint to guide and lead them to success and to become the impactful leaders they aspire to be.
Duncan-Williams said this during a matriculation thanksgiving service held for about 5, 000 students who were admitted into various programmes at graduate and undergraduate levels by the university.
In his sermon, the general overseer admonished the students to not only acquire knowledge but good values to become great leaders.
He said values and character are the arsenals that successful leaders, businesses and institutions have used in attaining greatness.
“Values are the products of character. These values and character are what will make you realise your vision. If you have no value and character, you are going nowhere,” he said.
He asked them to become visionary leaders and help “deliver” Africa from its socioeconomic challenges, saying bad leadership is the continent’s bane.
“The lack of selfless and visionary leaders today in Africa is the reason our continent has been struggling and we are training you the youth to come and correct it,” he said.
Raymond Dziwornu, dean, Faculty of Accounting and Finance, said the academic journey is not going to be rosy and, therefore, they need God and discipline.
“We are in a time where we need to develop the next generation that have value and skills that can grow the economy,” he added.
