Mampong (Ash) Aug. 13, GNA - The government has released about 6.5 billion cedis from the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) to the Asante-Mampong campus of the University of Education Winneba (UEW) to support projects under construction.

They include a modern lecture hall with a seating capacity for 300, offices and apartments, a two-storey science laboratory, a library, a two-storey administration block and a sports complex.

Prof Stephen Osei, Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, UEW who made this know to the Ghana News Agency at the projects site, said each of the projects costs more than 1.2 billion cedis.

He said the projects, most of which were started in February and were expected to be completed by December, had come to add meaning to the University's dream of transforming into a leading Agriculture University.

Prof Osei said the Faculty is committed to produce a new breed of agricultural science graduates that would teach the subject in a sustained manner.
