Professor Marian Ewurama Addy, President of the Anglican University College of Technology, has urged citizens of Nkoranza to support the Anglican Church of Ghana to ensure the successful establishment of the proposed Anglican University in the area.Prof. Addy was addressing the congregation at Saint Barnabas Anglican Church at Nkoranza.The church service, organized by the Anglican Bishops Conference, was to thank Okatakyie Agyeman Kudom IV, Omanhene of Nkoranza traditional area, for releasing a large tract of land for the construction of the university.She said a faculty of agriculture would be established to help promote self-employment among the youth and students who would gain admission into the college.Prof. Addy said the university would offer courses in agricultural sciences and engineering, water engineering, food science and computer engineering.She noted that since the land at Nkoranza was rich for food production the university hopes to develop the technology to help provide facilities for food preservation and to enhance the activities of farmers.In a joint speech, the Rt. Rev. Francis B. Quashie, Presiding Bishop of the Koforidua Diocese and Rt. Rev. Thomas Ampah Breint, Bishop of Sunyani Diocese of the church commended Okatakyie Agyeman for his vision for the university.They called on members of the church to provide assistance in all activities of the institution as they were major stakeholders.They announced that the university would commence in September this year and a planning committee had been inaugurated to design the contents of the courses and programmes before the admission of students.Okatakyie Agyeman commended the church for considering the plight of the youth in the area and for its decision to establish the college to enhance the accelerated development of the area.He said the traditional council intended to organize a fund raising rally on May 3 this year to mobilize resources to support the college.Earlier in a sermon, Venerable Emmanuel Attah-Mensah, Minister in-charge of the church in Dormaa Ahenkro charged the congregation to pray to ensure unity, peace and understanding during and after the general elections.Source: GNA
