Agogo University College takes off
Agogo (Ash), Oct. 11, Ghanadot/GNA – The first batch of
students of the School of Health and Medical Sciences of the
Presbyterian University College has enrolled at the Ashanti
Akim Campus of the University at Agogo in the Ashanti
Region.
They consist of 25 males and 28 females, some of them coming
from the West Africa Sub-Region.
The University College has three campuses in Abetifi and
Akropong in the Eastern Region and Agogo in the Ashanti
Region.
Professor Sraku Lartey, Principal, who inducted the students
expressed his appreciation to the Agogo Presbyterian Church,
for raising funds to build a hostel, the Agogo community for
raising fund to mobilize resources to support the school and
the Ashanti Akim North District Assembly for supplying
cement and other facilities to enable the school to take
off.
Prof Lartey singled out for mention Nana Akuoko Sarpong,
Omanhene of Agogo and the Agogo Traditional Council for
their untiring effort in providing material resources,
including accommodation without which the school could not
have opened this year as planned.
He also described the occasion as momentous in the nearly
200 years of the Church’s activities in the country, which
were pioneered by the Basel Missionaries two centuries ago.
He said Agogo was chosen for the medical school because of
its long history of health care delivery that spanned nearly
a century.
