Essikadu, April 30, GNA - The Right Reverend John Harvey-Ewusi, Bishop of the Sekondi-Takoradi Diocese of the Methodist Church, said the Western Region will soon have a campus of the Methodist University College in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis.

He said already a technical team has inspected some facilities in the diocese and its final report is expected to pave way for the campus to open.

Bishop Harvey-Ewusi told the GNA in an interview on Wednesday that the university would offer courses that would include Business Administration.

Bishop Harvey-Ewusi said the diocese also plans to establish a nursing training college at Dixcove in the Ahanta West District. The school will be named after the late William Degraft, a founding member of the Methodist Church whose appeal led to the arrival of the first Bible from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. Bishop Harvey-Ewusi said another facility at Azani in the Ahanta West District will also be named the William Degraft Centre on May 9. The facility comprises a Chapel, Hostel blocks, administrative block, retreat centre, family centre and schools and is being funded by the Lay Movement of the Methodist Church.
