  "account": "The newly appointed Chancellor of the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB), Mr Frank Adu Jnr, has unveiled a five-point vision to guide the institution's future. Speaking on the occasion of his investiture, Mr Adu highlighted the importance of digital transformation as the university navigates a world driven by digital technology and artificial intelligence. He emphasized the need for AUCB to embrace digital channels as part of its growth strategy. The Chancellor also stressed the significance of industry collaboration, aiming to create graduates equipped with practical skills and ready for the business world. Another priority identified by Mr Adu is the promotion of ethics and responsible journalism, as he expressed concerns about the language and unsavoury behaviour prevalent in various sections of the media, political communication, and social commentary. He believes that AUCB can play a crucial role in strengthening ethical standards, principles, and responsible journalism. Building a stronger alumni network was another key focus for the Chancellor, as he recognized the potential of former students to support the university's growth. Lastly, Mr Adu prioritized pooling resources to enhance the university's financial position, ensuring a solid foundation for its development. When discussing the institution's expansion plans, Mr Adu noted that while AUCB possesses land at its facility in Pomadze, physical expansion might not be the immediate priority. Instead, he emphasized the potential of the digital era to enable growth through online education, without solely relying on large physical campuses. As Mr Adu looks forward to his tenure, he expressed his desire to leave a lasting impact on the institution, aspiring to make it better than when it was handed to him.",
