Speaking at the ceremony, Dr Dennis Mike Obeng, Rector of the University, told Ghana News Agency that as part of the school’s efforts in putting up structures to facilitate teaching and learning, there would be a central classroom block, offices, banking areas, hostel facilities, and bungalows for lecturers and a primary school to serve people working in the environs of the academic facility.

Dr Obeng said in terms of tertiary education the University stands for excellence in the areas of engineering, technology and business.

The school has plans of introducing programmes like law, nursing and computer science.
