Ho, Oct. 13,
GNA – Privately owned Ghana Technology University College (GTUC) is to be
absolved by government, Mr Emmanuel Afoakwa, President of the University
College has hinted.
He said the
decision had been taken awaiting parliamentary approval for the private
technology university to be made a public university.
Mr Afoakwa
disclosed this when he paid a courtesy call on Reverend Johnson Avuletey, the
Deputy Volta Regional Minister as part of his visit of the Ho campus of GTUC.
He said his
visit was to see at first hand, the progress of the University and to appeal to
the Volta Regional Coordinating Council (VRCC) to help the institution acquire
a land for the construction of a permanent campus in Ho.
The GTUC
President added that Ghana was going digital, thus, the need to position the
country to embrace digitisation, saying, the University was poised to produce
the needed human resource in terms of information technology to meet that
challenge.
Rev. Avuletey,
pledged VRCC’s support and tasked the Regional Lands Commission Department to
help secure a land as soon as possible, noting, the current campus did not
provide conducive environment for studies.
Mr Frank Senyo
Loglo, Acting Registrar, Ho campus of GTUC asked students to use their
expertise and the networks to help augment government and management’s efforts
to build a formidable GTUC.
The former Ghana Telecom University College founded in
2005 by the then Ghana Telecom, the national telecommunications company, is an
academically comprehensive and globally inclined urban and rural technology
university, dedicated to advancing knowledge and providing students with a valuable, rigorous, experiential,
technology-infused education.
