Today we celebrate our HOD in the person of Moses Monday Omoniyi (PhD) and our able lecturers for the exquisite efforts in making our dear students pace setters in preventive health. Time will not allow us to mention names; However we emphatically appreciate our (heroes) lecturers who wake up at dawn, far and near to invent in our academic progress and wellness.

Again, we extend warm wishes to our Fathers and Potential Fathers in the KNUST school community

Ampe is a traditional Ghanaian recreational exercise that requires a lot of energy. It is a game that can be played by two people or a group of people, who may be in two teams. What makes ampe so intriguing is that it doesn’t require any special equipment.

The two teams are usually referred to as Ohyiwa and Opare. When the Ohyiwa’s left leg meets the Opare’s right leg or the Ohyiwa’s right leg meets the left leg of the Opare, the Ohyiwa scores a point and vice versa. The regulations of the game can change on a regular basis. However, the game or contest is usually won by the first side to score ten points.

Two contestants compete at a time in the ampe game. One team member from each side begins clapping their hands and jumping vertically while singing. As they land, each manipulates the legs and places one leg forward. There is no referee, but each team keeps track of their scores as the game progresses. The winner of a set of three or five games is the team with the highest score!
