Giving the opening remarks, the Deputy Registrar, Division of Human Resource, Dr. K. Gyasi Badu stated that the university received 450 service personnel in the 2012/2013 academic year.

The Chairman for the function, Rev. Prof. J. D. Owusu-Sekyere reminded the personnel to be humble and conduct themselves well in their quest to apply for job. He expressed confidence that the rich experience they had gained from UCC would be brought to bear on their future job.
The President of NSP, Mr. Annas Emmanuel Illah, thanked the university management for offering them the opportunity to serve mother Ghana. He appealed to management to consider providing separate accommodation for service personnel in future.
