President Of The Republic Of Ghana Named UPSA AfterNii Amon Kotei the designer of Ghana's Coat of Arms .

The University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) has named its newly constructed students hostel after the late Nii Amon Kotei, the renowned Ghanaian artist who designed the State’s Coat of Arms.

The gesture by UPSA is a posthumous recognition of Amon Kotei’s outstanding contribution to the nation and a move to immortalise his legacy as an illustrious national icon.

As a result, there is an urgent need for student hostel like this which I represented the president to commission at the University of Professional Studies Accra - UPSA on Tuesday 14th March, 2023. 

The facility which was named after the eminent designer of the nation's Coat of Arms, the late Nii Amon Kotei, it is a 10-storey hostel complex with a 1664-bed capacity. 

It is also furnished with ultra-modern facilities such as study rooms, Junior Common Rooms (JCR), a recreational area, a laundry area, TV rooms, CCTV cameras, an elevator, Automated Teller Machine (ATM), just to mention a few. 

I applaud the Vice Chancellor and the leadership of UPSA for internally generating funds to finance this beautiful edifice. 

This step is worthy of commendation and worthy of emulation by all.

The hostel was named in honor of NII AMON KOTEI the designer of Ghana’s coats of arms. This is a major feat by the president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo President of the Republic of Ghana and the Minister of Education.
