After receiving a Presidential Charter in 2020, the All Nations University was able to admit 535 new students to its schools for engineering, business, and science for the 2021/2022 academic years.

The ceremony was attended by 273 male matriculants and 262 female matriculants.
The University’s President and Founder, Dr Samuel Donkor, advised students to focus on their academics while embracing the University’s vision of total personality development.
He stated that this would allow graduates to grow personally and keep ahead of their peers in the labour market and in life.
He said that “waiting until the last minute to study for an examination is the best way to be a below-average student.” However, he stated that studying every day is the path to being an above-average student.
Dr Donkor stated that the university continues to push for innovative programs that will facilitate the rapid socio-economic growth of the country.

This was done to assist both students and faculty in reaching their highest potential for the advancement of society.
