DEPUTY TRANSPORT MINISTER DELIVERS GUEST LECTURE AND DONATIONS TO THE DEPARTMENT

The Deputy Transport Minister and Member of Parliament for the Upper West Akim Constituency, Honourable Frederick Obeng Adom,

has donated two sets of AllyNav Geodetic GNSS Receivers to support the Department’s teaching and learning, especially on geo-spatial

systems. In his brief remarks before the presentation, Honourable Adom acknowledged the excellent skills and competencies he has

acquired as a student in the Department’s MSc Geo-Information Sciences programme. He, therefore, noted that the donation was a

token of appreciation to the Department.
