Giving his remarks, the Head of ICDE, Dr. Frank Senyo Loglo, emphasized the University’s commitment to providing flexible and accessible education tailored to meet the unique needs of busy professionals and lifelong learners. He noted that the establishment of the ICDE is to bridge the gap for individuals seeking higher education while balancing other responsibilities.
