By Kwame Agyenim Boateng, Nana Kokooto (OTEC FM) 

Today we celebrate a mother, a mentor, and a trailblazer — Prof. Rita Akosua Dickson.  

As the first female Vice-Chancellor of KNUST, you have led with wisdom, grace, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. 

But beyond the office, you are a mother figure to thousands of students, faculty, and staff who look up to you for guidance and inspiration.

You embody the very best of motherhood: nurturing talent, sacrificing for the next generation, and building a home of knowledge where dreams take flight.

 Your leadership continues to uplift young women in academia, proving that brilliance and compassion can lead together.

To a woman who balances scholarship with service, innovation with empathy — thank you.

 Thank you for mothering a university and shaping the future of Ghana through education. 

On this Mother’s Day, we honor your strength, your intellect, and your heart for people. 

May God grant you long life, good health, and greater impact in all you do.  

Happy Mother’s Day, Prof. Rita Akosua Dickson. KNUST and Ghana celebrate you.
