The alumni group of Mfantsipim Senior High School, the oldest second cycle school in Ghana, the Mfantsipim Old Boys Association (MOBA), has sworn into office its National Executive Committee at an induction service in Accra.

The ceremony marked the transition of leadership from Ebusuapanin Captain John Fordjoe, who had held the position for nine years, to Moses Kwesi Baiden Jr.

The event, held at the Calvary Methodist Church in Adabraka, was well attended by alumni, their families, friends, and colleagues from other renowned schools in the country.

During the ceremony, the Administrative Bishop of the Methodist Church of Ghana, Michael Agyarkwa Bossman, reminded the new executives of their responsibility to ensure the educational advancement and progress of the school.

He emphasized the importance of serving all year groups and urged them to embody Christian leadership qualities instilled by Mfantsipim.

Bishop Bossman said, “leadership is about innovation, modesty, hard work, tender loving care, devotion, selflessness, versatility, dexterity, and creativity.”

He emphasized the values of innovation, modesty, hard work, and devotion in leadership, reminding the executives of their duty to glorify God and serve others. He encouraged them to lead with integrity and obedience to God's word.
He charged them to execute their duties in the fear of God and “must not do anything as new officers to dishonor the Lord or bring His holy name into disrepute on account of our actions.”

The Administrative Bishop further advised the new executives to be obedient to God, since this is the key to success in all endeavors, while imbuing themselves in the power of His word.

He charged them to prove themselves to be faithful and sincere as far as their administration is concerned, seeing their new charge as a trust from God.

He said, “you are in charge of the National Executive Committee of MOBA, and have a stake in the welfare and progress of teachers in our school and their nurture, for them to reach their maximum potential. This is a call of God on you to act faithfully and wisely.”
