The Chancellor and Chairman of the Regional Maritime University in Ghana, Alhaji Fanday Turay, who also serves as Sierra Leone’s Minister of Transport and Aviation, has stated that the university’s continued ability to produce top-quality graduates has earned it well-deserved global recognition for its excellence in maritime education and training.
He was speaking at the University’s 19th Congregation Ceremony at the RMU Parade Grounds in Accra, Ghana, where he admonished students that they are leaving the University enriched by the experience and with the tangible benefit of an academic qualification that is recognised the world over.
Chancellor Turay said, “It is now up to you to make the most of what you have earned here at RMU, by leading the maritime community of today towards a sound and sustainable tomorrow. I congratulate you, once again, graduands of the class of 2025, on your dedication and perseverance and wish you the greatest success as you return to your home countries and respective careers”.
As they set out on a magnificent journey, he wished them all the very best in their future endeavours, stating; “May life be kind to you; may the winds be fair, the tides favourable and the seas calm – and, if none of these are possible, may you have the strength to weather whatever storms life throws in your path: you are well equipped to ride them. I am confident that you will succeed in this. To each of you, I offer my sincere congratulations and my very best wishes for a bright future in the maritime world”.
