One of Ghana’s most prestigious tertiary institutions, Dominion University College has appointed Professor Nicolas N. N. Nsowah-Nuamah as its President over the next four years.
Born on September 27, 1956, at Nkotumso, Dunkwa on-offin in the Central region, Prof Nsowah-Nuamah has chalked enviable reputation and achievement in various facets of life, which would inure to development of Dominion University College over the coming years.
With his rich background and achievement as a statistician, Prof Nsowah-Nuamah has headed and lectured in several academic institutions including some African Universities, Regent University College of Science and Technology, Kumasi Polytechnic, Kumasi Technical University, University of Ghana and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
Holding a PhD in Statistics from Moscow State University in 1987, the new head of Dominion University has performed other critical roles outside the lecture hall, which include the deputy/acting Government Statistician from 2004 to 2009 and consultant to ECOWAS, MICRO International, World Vision, ILO, World Bank, UNICEF, FAO, and 9 others.

As a reformist, the President has numerous publications and heading Dominion University College is another milestone to transform and translate his knowledge and experience to the growth of the institution and the student body.
In his view, the academia plays important role in the construction of every country’s human resource, which Ghana is no exception, therefore, promised to continue to contribute his quota of producing refined and solution-oriented graduates.
This was in response to his mandate as the President to build the university into a world-class institution, offering market driving academic programmes- product design, innovations, manufacturing and business incubation- within the four year period.
It is also important to note that his position is renewable after the four years.
