A Nigerian man, Dr. Benjamin Ola. Akande, has
been named the president of Westminster College
in Fulton, Missouri to replace the current
president, Dr. George B. Forsythe who has been
president since 2008.
The announcement was made in a press release
by chairman of the Westminster Board of
Trustees, Wallace L. Head:
“We’re proud to introduce Dr. Akande as
president of Westminster College.”
“We’ve achieved our year-long goal of finding the
most qualified person to lead Westminster
and to continue executing our strategic plan."
Dr. Akande, was the Dean of the University's
Business and Technology School, is the 21st
president of Westminster College in Fulton and the
first African-American president in the college’s
164 year history.
The professor of economics also leads Webster’s
global Office of Corporate Partnerships.
Originally from Nigeria, Akande said he also
hopes to continue Westminster’s strong focus on
outreach to international students.
“I came here 34-35 years ago as an international
student and look at me, I'm president of
Westminster College,” Akande said.
