Twelve University of Ghana School of Law students have received scholarships from the Lebanese Community Scholarship Program.
On the occasion of the scholarship program's tenth anniversary, a gesture is made.
The brief ceremony was held in the presence of Professor Daniel Ofori, Provost of the University's College of Humanities; Maher Kheir, the Lebanese Ambassador; Professor Raymond Atuguba, Dean of the Law Faculty; and members of the Lebanese community in Ghana.
Pioneers
Mr. Kheir asserted that the society was motivated to help law students at the university because Lebanon was a pioneer in the field of legal education.
He said, "It is interesting to note that the world's first university of law was built in Lebanon's capital, Beirut."
Mr. Kheir emphasized that the power of the law is what allows societies to flourish, which is why the Lebanese community in Ghana values it highly.
He said that because of their more than 100-year history in Ghana, Lebanese people now see themselves as Ghanaians with Lebanese ancestry and added that "they have become partners for development."
He noted that the law was the cornerstone upon which any civilization might be built.
"The cornerstone of each human community is the law."
Without it, we cannot survive, develop, or advance.
Law is the lifeblood of human existence; without it, society would be lawless and chaos would reign.
As they progressed through their study, he urged the recipients to respect the principles of the legal profession, stating, "I encourage you to uphold the law you practice." Commendation
Prof. Ofori stated that the community's dedication to the program for more than 10 years was deserving of praise.
Since 2013, the Lebanese community in Ghana has done a great job of supporting our students.
"This merits praise," he remarked.
The sponsors were acknowledged by Prof. Raymond Atuguba for supporting the school and students year after year.
However, he asked the Lebanese community to expand the scholarship's reach, size, and number of beneficiaries.
Currently, there are roughly 2,100 faculty members, up from 400 when the scholarship program first started.
So, he said, "We're requesting that you think about expanding the number, quantity, and breadth to include additional deserving children as well."
