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.
