UPSA lecturer speaks at Africa Students and Youth Summit 2019

  • Date January 21, 2020
Lecturer at the Department of Marketing of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), Mr Ibn Kailan Abdul-Hamid, was among 10 selected resource persons who spoke at the 8th Africa Students and Youth Summit 2019 in Rabat, Morocco.

The Summit, which took place between 19th-23rd December 2019, brought together over 2000 students and youth from Africa and the diaspora. It provided a platform for participants to deliberate on challenges confronting the African continent and come up with solutions and initiatives to tackle them.

Mr Abdul-Hamid, who is also Coordinator for the Brands and Communications Management programme, joined other scholars and global experts to discuss the prospects and challenges of artificial intelligence in the developing world.

Using his country as case study, the 2019 best marketing lecturer acknowledged the attempts by the Ghanaian government to ‘engage’ the service of drones in the deployment and delivery of blood to rural communities.

“We are particularly grateful for the unique experiences you shared with the students and youth of the Continent,” Mr. Kodjie wrote.

“It was a priceless moment for them. Also, I would like to congratulate you for your extraordinary presentation, which was invaluable for all those present.”

The 2019 Africa Students and Youth Summit was under the theme: “From Promise To Action: Connecting The African Union (AU) To Its Citizens Through Students & Youth Engagement”. It was jointly organized by the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco, the All-Africa Students Union, and the Ghana-Morocco Old Students Association (GHAMOSA).
