 Agogo Presbyterian women's college of education - APWCE, has organised a send off ceremony for its past Principal Rev. Dr. Mrs Esther Adgodeka. 


The ceremony was organised at the college Auditorium on Saturday and was attended by Prof. Kwasi Adarkwa, the council Chairman and former vice chancellor of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Mrs Caroline Aduamoah, a council member,  the current principal,  Rev Dr Mrs Grace Sintim Adasi, Mrs Rita Asanu, acting vice Principal,  a host of teaching and non teaching staffs and students.

Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong,  Omanhene of Agogo Traditional area was duly represented by Nana Frimpong Manso Adakabre,  Adesuahene of Agogo Traditional area. 


Rev Dr Mrs Agbodeka retired two years ago after serving five years as the 16th principal of APWCE. Her tenure witnessed many infrastructure projects. In her valedictory speech, which was read on her behalf by her husband,  Mr. Theophilus Agbodeka, she thanked the leadership of Presbyterian Church Ghana for giving her the opportunity to serve in the high office and grateful to the staff and her predecessors for their wise counsel and constructive criticisms.

"Those who showed me love and support, your love was like a light in darkness and drove away my fears " she lamented.

She also wished her successor well as she takes over the chain of leadership. 

Management and staff, including the old students presented her with citation and gifts for her selfless and dedicated service to the growth and development of the college 


Prof. Adarkwah used the occasion to call for the reintroduction of strict moral training in Presbyterian institutions  to address moral decadence in our country. 


Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong wished the past Principal well in her retirement days and admonished her to always bring her experience to bare in times of need.
