Justice Nana Barima Yaw Kodie Oppong, Director of Legal Education and Head of the Ghana School of Law, has announced that he will be stepping down from office.
Justice Oppong thanked God “for His love, guidance, and protection over the past three years” in a note to students on Tuesday, August 12.
He noted that while he had hoped to finish his term or at least make it through the current academic year and the upcoming Call to the Bar ceremony, “sadly that was not to be.”
He extended his best wishes to Part II students, expressing his “earnest prayer” that all would be called to the Bar in October, and encouraged Part I students to persevere and progress to the next stage of their studies.
Justice Oppong also urged students to extend “even greater respect, cooperation, and support” to his successor, as well as to the management and staff of the institution.
“May God richly bless you all and grant us success in every endeavour. Thank you,” he concluded.
Justice Yaw Oppong, who is also the Manwerehene of Akyem Abuakwa, was inducted as the Director of Legal Education and also the Director of the Ghana School of Law (GSL) in December 2022.
