Professor Bernard Kumi-Boateng, whose hilarious fieldwork video with his students captured public attention, has officially assumed office as the fourth Vice-Chancellor of the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT).

This shows you can be respected, competent, and still have a great sense of humor. Social media made him famous, but his qualifications earned him the office.

The too know dudes who were insulting him for his comments at that time should come and see something. Mmoaaa 🤣🤣🤣

Everyone loves him on campus,Am not at his Department but chale he is feeling

The viral video brought attention, but decades of hard work brought the promotion. This is the kind of educational leadership students can easily connect with.

Proof that one viral moment can introduce millions to a brilliant academic. The funniest lecturer just became the Vice-Chancellor. Congratulations, Prof! 👏

Never judge a professional by a 30 second clip. There's usually a much bigger story behind it.

Academics don't have to be boring to be exceptional.

When I first heard how he spoke, I almost got offended. Then I noticed some teachers build that kind of connection with students, allowing for easy access and communication. So I chill. His students like him too.
