Vice-Chancellor Tours Kumasi and Sunyani Learning Centres of the University

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, has led a team from the College of Education and other units of the University on a tour of the Kumasi and Sunyani Learning Centres. The purpose of the tour was to identify ways of improving services provided at the Centres and to inspect arrangements being made towards the establishment of the Kumasi City Campus from January 2022.

Dr. Philip Mante, Coordinator of the Sunyani Learning Centre, conducted the team around the facilities of the Centres including classrooms, auditoriums and computer laboratories. During the visit to the University’s lands at Sunyani and Kumasi, the team noted the urgent need to develop and secure the lands to avert further encroachment.

The Vice-Chancellor first publicly announced the establishment of the city campuses at Kumasi and Takoradi during her induction ceremony. According to her, the establishment of city campuses of the University will make tertiary education more accessible to the teeming high school graduates all over the country, and upscale graduate education on the main (Legon) campus.
