Ghanaian media personality Smart Blessed Godsbrain, popularly known as Captain Smart and host of Onua Maakye on Onua TV, has been named the Overall Best Graduating Graduate Student (Project Work -Campus Cohort) at the 5th session of the 17th Congregation of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).
Captain Smart, who was part of a cohort of over 100 Master of Arts students in Peace, Security and Intelligence Management, received the award sponsored by Yaro Kasambata, Coordinator of the MA Peace, Security and Intelligence Management programme.
Speaking in an interview after receiving the honour, he expressed gratitude for the achievement.
“I was able to do it; that is all I can say for now. But I want to thank my academic supervisor, Professor Antwi. He has always remained my academic compass. Prof, I want to say I will borrow your red pen one day,” he said.
Meanwhile, a posthumous honorary doctorate degree was conferred on the late former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, at the congregation held on December 4, 2025.

The degree was received on her behalf by her daughter, Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings.
Nana Konadu, Ghana’s longest-serving First Lady, passed away on October 23, 2025, at the age of 76.
During her tenure as First Lady, she founded the 31st December Women’s Movement, which transformed women’s development by teaching income-generating skills, promoting community mobilisation and advocating improved economic opportunities for women across the country.
Her work significantly shaped national policies, including influencing the landmark 1989 law that guaranteed inheritance rights for women and children.
She is also widely credited for her role in strengthening provisions for gender equality in Ghana’s 1992 Constitution, which paved the way for the return to multiparty democracy.
