A celebrated academic, Prof. Kwapong was also the Chairman of the Council of State under the erstwhile Kufuor administration.
Born on March 8, 1927, Prof Kwapong attended the Achimota and proceeded to Cambridge for his tertiary education. He then came to the University of Ghana in 1953 where he rose from the ranks of a lecturer and later became the Vice Chancellor in 1966 and served for eleven years in that position.
He was the first ever Ghanaian to have acted in that position.
