Christian Service University (CSU) has been adjudged the Most Outstanding Private University in the Ashanti Region at the 2025 edition of the Ashanti Business Merit Awards (ABMA). The high-profile award ceremony took place on Friday, July 18, 2025, at the Lancaster Hotel in Kumasi.
This prestigious recognition comes as part of a broader celebration of excellence within Ghana’s corporate and institutional sectors. The 2025 edition marks the second time the awards have been held, drawing a distinguished audience of business leaders, public officials, academics, and members of the media.
CSU’s selection followed a rigorous process involving expert evaluation, independent research, and validation by a jury panel. The award recognises the university’s exemplary performance over the past year, including the historic conferment of the Presidential Charter, which affirms CSU’s status as a fully autonomous and accredited institution of higher learning.
Receiving the award on behalf of the university, Professor Samuel K. Afrane, Vice Chancellor of CSU, expressed deep appreciation for the honour:
“This award is a testament to our unwavering commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and integrity. It is a recognition of the tireless efforts of our faculty, staff, students, alumni, and partners. We remain focused on transforming lives through Christ-centered education.”
In line with its vision, CSU is preparing to launch its first doctoral programmes, including a PhD in Ministry, aimed at furthering its impact in development and leadership training.
