The Director General of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), Professor Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, on Monday called on Technical Universities (Tus) in the country to support the nation to realise the 24-hour economy.
He said the implementation and success of the 24-hour economy hinged on robust industrialisation, saying that, "the nation can't have an all-year and all-day round economy without the drivers of that agenda being vocational and technical education." Prof.
Abdulai made the call in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on the side-lines of the opening session of the 49th delegates' congress of the Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana (TUTAG) underway in Sunyani.
The two-day congress, being attended by Vice Chancellors of the various Tus and some tutors, is on the theme: "Technical University governance: Strengthening partnerships for institutional growth".
