Speaking on the honour done him, Dr. Opoku Prempeh stated:
“For me, everything I have done and continue to do for Prempeh College is also in honour of my grandfather, Otumfuo Nana Sir Osei Tutu Agyeman Prempeh II whose true intention for establishing the college was to promote education not only in the Asante Kingdom but the entire country. I cannot depart from this sacred duty.”
He also expressed that:
“I am eternally grateful to Prempeh college for this honour done me, accentuating the true meaning of the words of the hymnist in Methodist Hymn Book (MHB) number 896 “Now Praise We Great and Famous Men”.
