A Methodist Minister has challenged the premier universities to show where their production units are located which enables them to undertake research and manufacturing activities.

According to Very Reverend J. B. Danquah production units are very important in every university environment as it enhances students’ innovative skills.

He says Universities like KNUST, UCC and Legon can't even manufacture a common vaccine despite the many Professors and Doctors in their pharmaceutical departments.

Very Rev Danquah attributes the school's inability to come out with vaccines on the lack of production units on University campuses. 

He further noted, "many universities in Iraq, US and other countries are doing amazing things, why can't our universities do same, I think Adutwum will have to do something about the curriculum."

Reverend Danquah who was a Former Chaplain with the International Physicist Association believes the step would have saved the nation a lot of money.

He says when the coronavirus plunged the nation, the health Minister would have depended on these universities instead of going to other countries to purchase vaccines.

Rev Danquah asks why US with a population around 300 million could vaccinate about 200 million of its citizens and Ghana just little about 30 million and has not even vaccinated more than 2 million people.

He called on the Education Minister to amend the curriculum to enable students study more practically in their various fields especially science and engineering.
