Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor John Gyapong, noted that the University is gradually developing and will soon realise its infrastructural designs.

On teaching and learning facilities, Prof. Gyapong said “Construction is going on earnestly and very soon we will have 2,500 seater lecture hall at ago".

He said academic performances in the University's various colleges have seen progress over the years.
