A group of past volunteers of Radio Univers, the University of Ghana’s campus-based radio station, is set to honour the station’s long-serving manager, Dr. Abubakari Sidick Ahmed, with a grand retirement celebration on Friday, June 6, 2025.
The event, themed “The Touchdown”, will take place at the Great Hall of the University of Ghana at 6:00 PM, and is strictly by invitation. It will bring together dignitaries, mentees, colleagues, friends, and family — all united by one purpose: to celebrate a man whose leadership and mentorship have shaped countless lives in Ghana’s media space and beyond.
Affectionately known as Alhaji, Dr. Sidick Ahmed has served at Radio Univers for over two decades, rising from a student reporter to Station Manager. Throughout his journey, he has nurtured talent, built confidence, and transformed Radio Univers into a respected training ground for young broadcasters.
Speaking ahead of the event, Albert Quashigah, Esq., Chairperson of the Central Planning Committee, reflected on the purpose and emotion behind the celebration:
“When people, despite the odds, dedicate themselves to influencing their communities as did Alhaji, we, those he directly impacted, have to recognise him, while it is still possible,” said Quashigah.
“We, volunteers old and new, do not believe in deferring this. We either do it now or we lose the opportunity. Under his embracing arms, we learnt, built our confidence,” he added.
Lawyer Quashigah concluded his remarks by expressing deep appreciation for the team and reflecting on the broader significance of the occasion. According to him, “It is an honour to be part of this planning and to be the Central Planning Committee Chair.”
“This single act of recognition would encourage others to shine in their respective little or big corners. My sincerest gratitude to the 16-member planning committee that worked tirelessly to make this day possible.”
As the curtain draws on an era, The Touchdown promises not just to mark a retirement, but to enshrine a legacy — that of a mentor, visionary, and selfless servant whose impact will echo far beyond the walls of Radio Univers.
