Minority wades into renaming of Ho Technical University after Ephraim Amu

The Minority in Parliament opposed plans by the government to rename the Ho Technical University after Ghanaian composer, Ephraim Amu.

In an interview, Akatsi North Member of Parliament and Ranking Member on Parliament’s Education Committee, Peter Nortsu Kotoe, said the government should have submitted a bill on the proposed renaming.

“It is illegal because if you read the law establishing a university, the name of the university is stated in section one of the law

“If they bring any name, if they are asking for any name change to any university, it is illegal because Parliament has not approved it

It may be somebody’s suggestion but as far as I know, there is no bill before Parliament to that effect,” he said in an interview on Accra-based Citi FM

This comes after the chiefs of the Asogli State expressed their displeasure over the decision.
