The Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Dr. Agyemang Badu II, who also serves as Chair of the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) Council, has fulfilled a pledge by rewarding the 2025 Valedictorian, Jennifer Addae, with a brand-new Toyota Levin Hybrid and a cash prize of GH¢5,000.
The promise was made on December 13, 2025, at the Bank of Ghana Auditorium, where the traditional ruler announced plans to honour outstanding academic excellence at UENR.
Ms. Addae, who graduated with an impressive Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.95 in Chemistry, received the reward in recognition of her exceptional academic performance.
The presentation took place during a brief but symbolic ceremony at the Regional Centre for Energy and Environmental Sustainability (RCEES) at UENR.
Speaking at the event, the Dormaahene described the award as a powerful symbol of excellence, discipline, and dedication.
He noted that the initiative reflects the enduring legacy of the late President John Evans Atta Mills, highlighting his contributions as both a former lecturer and a national leader who placed great value on education.
According to him, Ms. Addae’s remarkable achievement embodies the ideals of hard work, intellectual brilliance, and leadership—values consistently championed by both himself and the late President Atta Mills.
He encouraged students of UENR and young people across the country to remain focused on academic excellence, stressing that diligence and commitment to education will always be recognised and rewarded.
The gesture has been widely praised by students and members of the university community as a strong motivation for academic excellence and youth development.
