Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh popularly known as ‘Napo,’ has been receiving a flood of Honorary Doctorate Degrees from prestigious universities in recent times.
In just two years, he has been bestowed with three Honorary Doctorate Degrees from top institutions.
The University of Cape Coast (UCC), a leading university in West Africa, is the latest to honor Napo with an Honorary Doctorate Degree.
A Special Congregation is scheduled for July 29, 2023, where the Minister of Energy and other esteemed individuals will be recognized.
This marks the third Honorary Doctorate Degree that Napo, also serving as the MP for Manhyia South, has received within a span of two years.
In May 2021, the University of Education, Winneba, acknowledged his unique and exemplary contributions with an Honorary Doctorate Degree.
Subsequently, in July 2021, the University of Professional Studies (UPS) in Accra also conferred an Honorary Doctorate Degree upon him.
Napo has played significant roles to help accelerate the effective development of the country. No wonder he has been a recipient of many enviable awards.
His positive contributions to the transformation of the country has especially been felt in the Energy and Education Ministries during the last six years.
During his tenure as the Education Minister, Napo worked tirelessly to introduce the NPP government’s flagship policy, the free Senior High School (SHS).
Napo, who is noted for his hard work, has written his name in the letters of gold at the Energy Ministry as he has worked to make the ministry vibrant, so far.
Aside the Honorary Doctorate Degrees, Napo has also been honoured by some reputable international organizations, including the United Nations (UN).
Meanwhile, the UCC would on Saturday, July 29, 2023, also honour other distinguished people such as Ehunabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI and Dr. K.K Sarpong.
Also to be honoured by the UCC are Prof. Harold Stwart Amonoo-Koufi, Dr. Deborah Rose, Dr. Yaw Adu-Agyei Gyamfi and Prof. Daniel A. Wubah.
