Notable Alumni

In March 2005, when Adisadel College recounted her achievements and contributions to national development during the 96th Speech and Prize-Giving Day Celebration, it became amply evident that, of the three arms of government in Ghana, two of them were headed by Adisadel products-Santaclausians

  • Judiciary-Chief Justice George Kingsley Acquah, Chief Justice Edward Kwame Wiredu, Chief Justice Philip Archer
  • Legislature- Rt. Hon. Ebenezer Begyina Sekyi-Hughes, Hon Freddie Blay

The third arm, Executive, became part of Adisadel exploits when His Excellency, John Agyekum Kufuor, President of the Republic of Ghana graciously had the Honourary Santaclausian status conferred on him in his role as the Special Guest of Honour by the then Board Chairman, Mr. Hero Bhavnani.

In keeping with tradition, His Excellency, Alhaji Aliu Mahama was similarly decorated with the Honourary Santaclausian badge by the Board Chairman, Mr. Solomon Abam Quartey. The Vice-President accepted an invitation from the 1983 year group of Santaclausians who were the main sponsors of the 98th Speech and Prize-Giving day Celebration (twenty five years after leaving school) to be a member of their year group.

Famous quotes containing the word notable:

    Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
