This was confirmed by Member of Parliament of Builsa South Dr. Clement Apaak on Daybreak Upper East on A1 Radio.

Parliament on Thursday night amended the Technical Universities Act(922) which has effectively converted the Bolgatanga Polytechnic and the Wa Polytechnic in the Upper West Region to Technical Universities. 

Dr. Clement Apaak said in an interview on A1 Radio in Bolgatanga that “This is a great achievement for us and students of the two institutions must surely be jubilating.”

Eight out of the then ten polytechnics in Ghana were converted to the status of technical universities which commenced at the beginning of 2016/17 academic session. RELATED POSTS

Following the unfortunate development, management of the Bolgatanga Polytechnic embarked on a massive enhancement agenda to enable them meet the criteria.

These included infrastructural expansion, installation of equipments for purposes of studies, recruitment of new staff and upgrade of qualification and credentials of staff through academic training.
