Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has disclosed that the public universities that were renamed during the Akufo-Addo administration will have their names changed to what they were previously known as.
Mr.
Iddrisu, who was speaking during the inauguration of the governing council of the CK Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences (CKT-UTAS), said his office is in consultations with key stakeholders on the move.
He said the intention was not to demean the contributions of the personalities after whom President Akufo-Addo named the institutions, but to reflect on the integrity of the universities. "The Government has taken a decision to review the names of some of the universities and therefore, I will be presenting a bill to Parliament after a committee that I will be putting in place reviews it." He continued: "It is not to diminish the contribution of any individual, particularly names that were conferred on those institutions, but to reaffirm the foundational ethos and historical identities of our tertiary institutions.
