    Is KNUST meant to produce STEM graduates or lawyers? We have completely lost focus. R. I. P Kwame Nkrumah!

  • So sad.Kkrumah is turning and shaking head in his grave 2 months ago

    So pathetic to praise the extent of deviation from Nrumah's vision for establishing the university. The best they have come nearer the vision is to assemble a future pounding machine.

    Sorry mother Ghana.

    Both. Just as UG has a School of Engineering now. KNUST is no longer merely a glorified polytechnic.

    I think there is something so special about KNUST that other public Universities in Ghana should be looking at. I think KNUST has over the years considered excellence as their core mandate. I pursued my LLB from University of ...

    In Ghana today, the most profitable business is not building, inventing, or producing — it’s billing. And no one bills like a lawyer. We have turned law into a luxury good and lawyers into middlemen of inertia — extract ...

    If Ghana’s lawyers ran farms, they’d charge crops for growing. Ours is a country where the most reliable harvest isn’t cocoa or gold — it’s legal fees. We have built a thriving economy of forms, filings, and “kind ...
