Valley View University (VVU), which prides itself as Ghana’s premier chartered private university will on today July 7, 2023, honour four distinguished personalities at a special honorary awards ceremony to be held at the university’s chapel at the Oyibi campus of the institution.
The ceremony which will be held under the theme; “Maintaining Excellence, Integrity and Service in an Era of Global Instability and Permissiveness,” will honour the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, President of Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema, former President of Ghana, John Agyekum Kufuor and Madam Akosua Frema Osei Opare, the Chief of Staff at the office of the President.
Valley View University was established in 1979 by the West African Union Mission of Seventh-day Adventists. In 1997 it was absorbed into the Adventist University system operated by the West Central African Division of Seventh-day Adventists headquartered in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire.
Since 1983, the Adventist Accrediting Association (AAA) has been evaluating and reviewing the institution’s accreditation status and programs. The University was affiliated with Griggs University, Silver Springs, Maryland, USA in 1997 to offer Theology and Religious Studies degrees.
In 1997, the then National Accreditation Board, Ghana granted the university college accreditation to award her own degrees. The Government of Ghana, in 2006, granted Valley View University a Presidential Charter to operate as an autonomous degree-granting institution.
This milestone makes Valley View University the first Chartered private university in Ghana. The University serves undergraduate and graduate students from all over the world.
It admits qualified students regardless of their religious background, provided such students accept the Christian principles and lifestyle which form the basis for the University’s operations.
