Cape Coast, Ghana — The Managing Director of Priority Insurance Ltd., Mr. Farris Elias Attrickie, has led a high-level delegation on a courtesy visit to the University of Cape Coast (UCC), reinforcing the company’s commitment to institutional partnerships within Ghana’s education sector.

The delegation was received by the Vice Chancellor, Dennis Aheto, alongside the Acting Director of Finance, Mr. John Amfo-Antiri, and the University’s Budget Officer, Mr. Eric Agyenim-Boateng.

The engagement forms part of Priority Insurance’s broader strategy to build sustainable partnerships with key national institutions, particularly those central to leadership development and socio-economic transformation.

A Shared Vision for Impact

Discussions during the meeting focused on identifying practical avenues for collaboration that would enhance educational delivery while creating long-term mutual value. Both institutions emphasized the importance of aligning insurance solutions and financial protection mechanisms with the evolving needs of Ghana’s academic ecosystem.

At the heart of the engagement was a shared commitment to supporting academic excellence, advancing sustainable development initiatives, and strengthening social protection frameworks within higher education.

Executives at Priority Insurance underscored the role of universities not only as centers of learning but also as engines of national development. Strengthening ties with UCC, they noted, reflects a deliberate effort to partner with institutions shaping Ghana’s next generation of leaders and innovators.

Strategic Institutional Collaboration

For Priority Insurance, the visit represents more than a ceremonial engagement. Industry observers note that deeper collaboration between insurers and universities can unlock tailored risk management solutions, improve asset protection, and enhance financial resilience across academic institutions.

The meeting also signals a growing trend of private-sector entities aligning with public universities to support operational sustainability and institutional growth.

“As an organization committed to long-term impact, we recognize the vital role universities play in shaping future leaders and driving national development,” Mr. Attrickie said during the visit.

From Dialogue to Implementation

Both parties described the meeting as productive and forward-looking, expressing optimism that the discussions will translate into concrete initiatives benefiting students, staff, and the broader academic community.

The engagement marks another milestone in Priority Insurance’s expanding footprint within Ghana’s institutional landscape, as it seeks to embed itself within sectors critical to national progress.

In attendance were Mr. Eric Agyenim-Boateng (Budget Officer – UCC), Ms. Henrietta Aba Amoah (Officer-In-Charge – Priority Insurance Ltd., Cape Coast), Mr. Farris Elias Attrickie (Managing Director – Priority Insurance Ltd.), Professor Dennis Aheto (Vice Chancellor – UCC), Mr. Herbert Sydney Dadzie (Head of Broker and Corporate Department – Priority Insurance Ltd.), and Mr. John Amfo-Antiri (Acting Director of Finance – UCC).

As Ghana’s educational institutions navigate evolving financial and operational demands, partnerships such as this underscore the growing intersection between academia and corporate Ghana—anchored in resilience, innovation, and shared national ambition.
