Our Logo
Our logo is an essential element that distinguishes us in an increasingly competitive and global higher education environment.
Tri Cord
The tri-cord in the logo represents industry, hard work, an enterprising spirit, diligence, energy, and persistence. It symbolizes assiduity, devotion, study, and zeal for knowledge—essential attributes for success and achievement in every area of life.
If academic institutions are the driving force behind a nation's socio-economic development, then it must be emphasized that society benefits from educated individuals only when they cultivate these virtues and apply their knowledge to solving societal problems.
Peace, justice, and industry form the tri-cord of societal cohesion and development. These three elements work together to foster human progress. When any of them is broken, sustained development becomes impossible.
The Cross
The Cross represents ‘peace’ and ‘justice’ in the motto. Justice and righteousness are the foundation of God’s kingdom, and as such, He expects them to be the foundation of human societies as well.
The death of Christ satisfied God’s justice and righteousness, restoring humanity’s broken relationship with Him. As the Bible states, ‘He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds, we are healed’ (Isaiah 53:5).
This same unconditional love should shape humanity’s social interactions. The Cross is the center of God’s love and the fulfillment of His justice and righteous requirements. It also reflects God’s deep concern for human needs (Romans 8:31-39).
‘Nyame Nwu Na M’awu’ adinkra symbol
The ‘Nyame Nwu Na M’awu’ adinkra symbol represents the eternal and ever-living Spirit of God, the dependability of God, and the unconquerable nature of the fortified spirit of man. It also symbolizes the perpetual existence of man’s spirit, antiquity, and old age.
The name refers to a local plant called Commelina nudiflora or Benghalensis, which has a special characteristic that allows it to withstand adverse weather conditions during the dry seasons in Ghana when most trees and plants wither and die. It holds ecological significance, symbolizing durability and permanence.
The symbol is applied to God to depict His immutability and eternal nature. He is the God who does not die, hence the saying, 'Nyame nnwu na m’awu,' meaning 'God does not die for me to die.' Variations of this saying include: 'I live not when God is not' or 'Nyame Bewu Na M’awu,' meaning 'God cannot die, so I cannot die,' or 'God cannot die.' These affirmations speak to the enduring nature of the strong spirit, which enables man to overcome adverse circumstances.
The symbol also speaks of faith in the unchanging God who lives in man through His eternal Spirit, endowing man with the grace and capacity to surmount all challenges. It is because of this that the initiate can affirm, 'Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world' (1 John 4:4). Because He lives, the faithful can face tomorrow.
The Globe
We cannot talk about peace until we have addressed the fundamental question of justice and righteousness (right relations with God and with one another). Peace in the world and in our communities is therefore contingent upon the practice of justice and right social relations.
The biblical dictum states, 'The fruit of justice/righteousness will be peace,' and 'the effects of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever' (Isaiah 32:17). A nation’s peace and prosperity are contingent upon justice (just social and economic relations), both at the national and international levels.
Where unfair and unjust practices are perpetuated against fellow humans within society, conflict is inevitable. Just and right deeds must therefore be pursued at both the international and local levels to ensure communal and global peace.
Where there is serious imbalance between the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ due to unjust socio-economic relations, we should never expect peace within or beyond our borders. Just and right social relations are the foundation of industry. Industry does not thrive when the fundamental issue of justice is denied.
The curricula of church-related educational institutions must address the issue of justice and righteousness to ensure their relevance.
The Crest
The Crest symbolizes relevant education as a tool for development, which is also associated with 'Industry' in the motto
