He is an accounting academic with sound professional knowledge in both teaching and accounting practice. By teaching at both tertiary and pretertiary levels since 1998, he has accumulated valuable insights and experience in leading students to succeed in learning.

Currently, he is the College of Education Representative on the University Housing Committee. He is also the University of Cape Coast Representative on the Governing Council of Baldwin University College, an affiliate institution of University of Cape Coast.

Teaching & projects

The watch word and guiding principle in my academic pursuit has been that “in the field of knowledge there is no authority, we all are contributors”. The teacher is not considered a repository of all knowledge and wisdom, but is privileged to lead discussions in class by virtue of their training and experience. The teacher’s role is to make learning easier by liaising with students to create knowledge to facilitate learning.
