The University of Professional Studies, Accra is set to honour renowned transport and logistics entrepreneur Dr JK Horgle with the commissioning of the JK Horgle Transport and Logistics Centre of Excellence on Thursday, July 2, at the Abednego Okoe Towers on its Accra campus.
The facility, established in recognition of Dr Horgle’s decades of contribution to Ghana’s transport and logistics industry, is expected to serve as a national hub for research, professional training, innovation and industry collaboration.
According to the university, Dr Horgle has earned widespread respect for his professionalism, integrity and long-standing role in the transportation of petroleum products, making him one of the country’s most accomplished figures in the sector.
The Centre forms part of UPSA’s broader strategy to strengthen collaboration between academia and industry by equipping professionals and students with practical knowledge and skills to address the evolving needs of Ghana’s transport and logistics sector.
Once operational, the Centre will support research, policy development, capacity building and leadership training, while fostering partnerships between industry players, government institutions and academia.
The commissioning ceremony is expected to attract key stakeholders from the transport and logistics industry, government, academia and the private sector.
Professor Samuel Antwi, Director of the Centre, described the initiative as a strategic investment in knowledge, innovation and human capital development for one of Ghana’s most critical economic sectors.
He noted that the Centre would provide a unique platform to advance professional excellence and contribute to the growth and competitiveness of Ghana’s transport and logistics industry.
UPSA said the establishment of the Centre further reinforces its commitment to delivering industry-focused education and building impactful partnerships that support national development.
