The CSIR College of Science and Technology (CCST) has appealed for financial and material support to enhance its infrastructure, particularly to develop a secure and efficient system for issuing, managing, and verifying certificates.

The call was made by Professor Mark Appiah, President of CCST, during the college's 5th Congregation in Accra, where 63 students graduated in fields such as fishery science, food science, animal nutrition, climate change, soil health, and plant breeding.

Addressing the congregation on Friday, July 25, 2025, Professor Appiah emphasized that as CCST works toward securing a charter to operate as an independent postgraduate research university, significant upgrades to its registry infrastructure are essential.

He noted that certificate management for the college is currently handled by mentoring institutions, the University of Cape Coast (UCC) and the University of Mines and Technology (UMAT).
