Jawula heads UPSA Traditional Leadership Centre
The University of Professional Studies, Accra
(UPSA) has announced the formal appointment of
Lepowura M.N.D. Jawula to head of its newly
established Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Centre for
Traditional Leadership.

Known in private life as Alhaji Mohammed Nuru-Deen
Jawula, the former Chief Director at the Ministry
of Health and retired Sports Administrator is
expected to use his extensive administrative
expertise and traditional leadership experience,
as the Director of the Centre to transform the
chieftaincy institution in Ghana.

In a short remark after the confirmation of his
appointment, Lepowura Jawula said: “I am
naturally highly enthused at the prospect of
heading a newly minted department in a University
like UPSA.”

“As a business university, we have a rare
opportunity now to open up the institution to a
particular class of people who otherwise would be
distanced from academia,” he said.

He revealed that: “I have nursed the ambition of
linking the institution of chieftaincy with
governance in my own small way. Little did I
contemplate a fusion of the type about to unleash
itself through the opportunity we are about to
envisage under the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Centre for
Traditional Leadership.”

Lepowura added that: “The name of the Centre
tells a story, because Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the
Asantehene, is an iconic figure in his own right
and his mode of administration should be emulated
by all and sundry, particularly personages within
the realm of traditional authority,” Lepowura
Jawula added.”

Lepowura Jawula expects the Centre to mature fast
enough to be of relevance “not only to chiefs in
Ghana and beyond, but would bring in its trail
practitioners in traditional precepts.”

“It's my expectation that within the coming
year, the Centre would become the reference point
for tradition and leadership in the West African
sub-region and the Mecca of intellectuals in
leadership coming out of Europe and North
America,” he noted.

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II who is the
permanent Chair of the Centre provided a
seed-funding of One hundred thousand Ghana Cedis
(GHS100, 000.00) towards its establishment.

The Centre, which is the first of its kind in
Ghana and the West African sub-region, has been
designed to promote the research and community
service function of the University. It will give
regular and continuous training to the chieftaincy
institution.

Training modules on leadership, governance,
conflict management, negotiation and documentation
skills to chiefs and other traditional leaders
will be provided to enhance the capacity of
traditional leaders to enable them lead and manage
their resources effectively.

In addition, the Centre will create the platform
for thorough research into chieftaincy and
traditional leadership issues and host an
innovative annual school for dialogue and case
sharing amongst traditional leaders.
