Government plans more public universities, allocates GH¢100m for UMaT Kenyase campus

As part of the initiative, a GH¢100 million allocation is being proposed to support the take-off of the Kenyase campus and lay the foundation for its possible transformation into a fully fledged public university.

The government has begun moves to expand access to tertiary education with plans to establish more public universities across Ghana, including efforts to support the development of the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT) campus at Kenyase.

This afternoon, I have directed a letter to the Administrator of GETFund for the 2027 formula to make an allocation of GH¢100 million to support the take-off of the Kenyase campus, with the intention of expanding it to establish a new university,” he stated.
