Aluta Group present Prof. Mawutor Tettey with a citation on the occasion of his inaugural lecture

In a heartwarming moment, Professor Mark Mawutor Tettey’s 1982 high schoolmates took the stage during the inaugural lecture at the University of Ghana. With genuine smiles and a sense of nostalgia, they presented him with a well-deserved citation.

Their presence not only honoured their shared past but also celebrated Prof. Tettey’s remarkable journey from those formative years to becoming a distinguished academic in the field of surgery.

The citation, elegantly framed, bore witness to the enduring bonds forged during their youth. As they stood together, memories of late-night study sessions, laughter-filled corridors, and dreams of making a difference flooded their minds. It acknowledged Prof. Tettey’s unwavering commitment to excellence, compassion, and service—a testament to the values instilled in them decades ago.

In his acceptance speech, Prof. Tettey expressed gratitude for the unexpected recognition. His voice trembled slightly as he recounted shared adventures, youthful aspirations, and the camaraderie that had sustained them through life’s twists and turns. “To my dear classmates,” he said, “this honour is as much yours as it is mine. Our paths diverged, but our bond remains unbreakable.”

The audience, including faculty, students, and distinguished guests, erupted in applause. The Great Hall resonated with applause—a symphony of appreciation for a man who had not only excelled academically but had also touched countless lives through his surgical expertise and mentorship.

As the evening sun bathed the stage, Prof. Tettey held the citation close, its words etched forever in his heart. The 1982 high school mates, now successful professionals in various fields, stood as living proof of the impact they had collectively made on the world.

In this moment of reunion and honour, the University of Ghana community witnessed more than an academic event; they witnessed the power of enduring friendships and the ripple effect of shared dreams. The citation, simple yet profound, symbolized the ties that bind—across time, disciplines, and continents.

And so, as the applause subsided, Prof. Tettey raised the citation high, acknowledging not only his own achievements but also the collective legacy of a remarkable class of ’82. Their story, interwoven with resilience, determination, and friendship, would inspire generations to come.
