New Anglican University College of Technology to start in 2009

Accra, Aug. 5, Ghanadot/GNA - The international launch of the Anglican University College of Technology of Ghana took place at the week end at the Canterbury Campus of the University of Kent on the fringes of the Lambert Conference and synod of the Anglican Communion.


Speaking to an audience made up of mainly Ghanaian clergy and officials of the Ghana High Commission in the United Kingdom, Professor Marian Ewurama Addy, President of the College, said the College would be a technical, ICT-based institution, using primarily e-learning methods for teaching.

 

A statement issued in Accra on Tuesday by the Ghana High Commission in the UK said it would be geared towards producing graduates for the manufacturing industries for value addition and production.

Professor Addy said values that would characterise the graduates would be based on ideals of Christianity including discipline, altruism, moral uprightness,

truthfulness, patriotism as well as innovativeness.

 

Professor Addy said the University would be owned by the Anglican Church of Ghana whose involvement in the educational system in Ghana dates back to 1750.


In a homily, the Archbishop of the Province of West Africa and the Bishop of Accra, Rt. Rev. Justice Ofei Akrofi invited Ghanaians and friends of Ghana to invest in the University so that at the end of the day, God’s name will be glorified. The University, according to Bishop Akrofi, would commence full academic business in September 2009.


In another development, the paramount chief of Chirano Traditional Area, Okogyeman Kwaku Gyamprah III has paid a courtesy call on Mr Annan Cato, Ghana’ High Commissioner to the UK and Ireland.


Okogyeman Gyamprah, who was in the UK at the invitation of Chirano citizens resident in the UK and Ireland, informed Mr Cato that besides the visit to his subjects, he was in the UK to look for investors to exploit the vast gold resources the area was endowed with.


He said he would also welcome investors who would want to go into large scale mechanised farming both for the local and foreign markets and invited Mr Annan Cato to assist in that direction.


Mr Cato assured him that his office would readily support him and his traditional area to realise the objectives they have set for themselves.
