Today, I was presented with an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Sorbonne, in Paris, France, one of the most prestigious universities in Europe and the world, in recognition of my commitment to entrenching the values of democracy in Ghana,

fostering peace within the West African Region, guaranteeing access to a minimum of senior high school education for all of Ghana’s children through the implementation of the Free SHS policy, and also for the leadership shown in the fight against COVID-19, amongst others. I am delighted to be in the company of Pablo Picasso, Kofi Annan, Amartya Sen and Nelson Mandela, who have all received Honorary Doctorate Degrees from Sorbonne University
