The implementation of Free SHS has indeed, produced a lot of graduates from Senior High Schools who will end up in a tertiary institution thus, the increase in the Gross Tertiary Enrollment Ratio (GTER).
As a result, there is an urgent need for student hostel like this which I represented the president to commission at the University of Professional Studies Accra – UPSA on Tuesday 14th March, 2023.
The facility which was named after the eminent designer of the nation’s Coat of Arms, the late Nii Amon Kotei is a 10-storey hostel complex with a 1664-bed capacity.
It is also furnished with ultra-modern facilities such as study rooms, Junior Common Rooms (JCR), a recreational area, a laundry area, TV rooms, CCTV cameras, an elevator, Automated Teller Machine (ATM), just to mention a few.
The minister applauded the Vice Chancellor and the leadership of UPSA for internally generating funds to finance this beautiful edifice.
He noted that the step is worthy of commendation and worthy of emulation by all.
