The University indicated that the Honorary Doctorate Degree is an appreciation to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II for his demonstration of love, peace, and democracy by convincing leaders of various political parties in Ghana to sign a pledge to ensure peace before, during, and after Ghana’s Presidential and Parliamentary elections in 2012.

It was stressed in the letter that the University recognizes Otumfuo’s remarkable role as the leader of the Mediation Committee that helped resolve the Dagbon chieftaincy dispute.
