Prof Ken Attafuah
The University Council of Central University has appointed Professor Kenneth Agyeman Attafuah Esq. as Dean of the Faculty of Law (FoL), with effect from 1st December 2025.
The appointment was formally announced in a notice issued by the University, welcoming Prof. Attafuah back to head the Faculty of Law, where he previously served as its founding Dean.
University authorities described the decision as a reaffirmation of confidence in his academic leadership, institutional memory and contribution to legal education at Central University.
Prof. Attafuah is the immediate past Executive Secretary of the National Identification Authority (NIA), where he played a key role in Ghana’s national identity management system.
His public sector experience, combined with his academic and legal background, is expected to further strengthen the Faculty’s academic relevance and professional orientation.
In congratulating him on the appointment, the University commended his remarkable achievements in academia and public service, and expressed optimism that his return to the role would enhance teaching, research and professional training within the Faculty of Law.
Central University is an educational initiative of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC). It traces its origins to a short-term pastoral training institute established in October 1988, later evolving into Central Bible College and subsequently Central Christian College.
The institution expanded its academic scope to include professional programmes, notably with the establishment of the Central Business School.
In 1998, the institution was rebranded as Central University College to reflect its liberal arts focus. It attained full university status in January 2016 following the award of a Presidential Charter, becoming Central University.
The University currently operates nine faculties and schools, including the Faculty of Law, and remains committed to providing quality, values-based higher education with equal access for both male and female students.
