Vice-Chancellor for the Ho Technical University, Prof. Benjamin Honyenugah says technical universities in Ghana are ready and willing to partner government in the fight against COVID-19.
The Vice-Chancellor who spoke to Citi News on the sidelines of an event to donate one thousand reusable nose masks to health workers in the Volta Region said Technical Universities have enough capacity to aid the government in times like this.
“We are so far grateful for the efforts that have been put in place by government led by his Excellency the President in the fight against the COVID-19. We in the Technical Universities are ready and willing to support the efforts of government in this fight. You are aware we are technical universities and we have a lot of capacity and part of it what we have demonstrated this morning.”
“Other technical universities are working very hard to support the course in their various ways because as you know, we are all technical universities but we have our various strengths and the strength of each technical university is being leveraged to be able to support the fight against the COVID-19. I believe sooner than later the contributions of the technical universities will be visible for all to see,” he added.
