President Dramani Mahama on Tuesday evening cut a sod for the construction of Kumasi Technical University at Kuntenase in the Ashanti region.
The president was accompanied by some chiefs in the region as well as National Democratic Congress (NDC) executives and supporters during his ‘accounting to the people tour’ in the region.
The Kumasi Polytechnic now Kumasi Technical University was part of the selected Polytechnics which were changed into Universities.
Students of the Polytechnic have bemoaned that their school is not befitting for a university, hence government’s decision to build a new one.
