The search for the long-awaited Pro-Vice-Chancellor for the premier Technical University has come to an end as the Council of Accra Technical University on 30th November 2020 appointed Prof. Amevi Ackapovi as the substantive Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the University.

He will now serve the University as the substantive Pro-Vice-Chancellor on a three (3) year term. His appointment comes at the backdrop of the University’s transition to a fully-fledged University and heralded by the appointment of a substantive Vice-Chancellor, Prof Samuel Nii Odai who was unveiled to the University Community a year ago.

Prof. Amevi Ackapovi’s Journey to occupying the position of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor is characterised by sacrifices and passion to serve the University and the country at large.

He joined the Electrical/Electronic Department of the then Accra Polytechnic in 2010 as a lecturer, and then became Head of the Department from 2012 for two terms. He rose through the ranks to become a Senior Lecturer in 2013. Subsequently, he has acquired a great deal of expertise and experience in the field of Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering and Energy systems through training and a wealth of work experience. He made a step further towards his educational exploits by joining the PhD programme in Engineering at the Open University of Malaysia-Accra Institute of Technology in 2011 and completed four years later.

Prof. Amevi Acakpovi is the author of several publications in International Journals including the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) conferences, and transactions as well as other journals with Scopus Indexing, SCI-Indexed, and EI-Indexed journals.
