OBUASI Municipal Assembly has received
\nGH\u00a2250,000 from AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) to support renovation works on
\ninfrastructure for the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST),
\nto open a new campus at Obuasi.<\/p>\n

The donation is a counterpart funding to
\nrenovate the northern assets of the mining company earmarked for the KNUST
\ncampus in the municipality.<\/p>\n

AGA, after consolidating its operational
\nsurface footprint to the south section, released its office complexes and
\nresidential properties at the north mine to support the establishment of a
\nuniversity for which Government says will help boost the local economy.<\/p>\n

The project, which is a joint initiative
\nof AGA, the Municipal Assembly and the university, has begun with the school
\nexpected to start in September this year.<\/p>\n

AGA Head of Operations, Brett Thompson,
\nwho made the donation on behalf of the company, said the move formed part of
\nAGA\u2019s commitment in seeing to the plan for the establishment of the university
\ncampus executed.<\/p>\n

According to him, the mining company
\nmooted the idea when management realized properties at the north mine section
\nhad become redundant to the Obuasi mining operations for which Government
\napproved the proposal and subsequently formed a committee to execute the plan.<\/p>\n

Mr Thompson stated that the committee
\ndetermined the cost of renovation to be GH\u00a2400,000 and the Municipal Assembly
\nhad only GH\u00a2150,000 available for the project, and AGA therefore decided to counter
\nfund it by donating the GH\u00a2250,000 as part of its corporate social
\nresponsibility.<\/p>\n

The Obuasi Municipal Chief Executive
\n(MCE), Elijah Adansi Bonah said funding from the AGA would help the Assembly to
\nrealize the university dream, which would help build Obuasi\u2019s competitiveness
\nand local economy.<\/p>\n

According to him, the university campus would support improvements in the business environment and build capacity for investment attraction and retention in the city. <\/p>\n
