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) for completion of 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 of the University told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Mampong that 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, would transform the University into a leading Agriculture institution.

Prof Osei said the Faculty is committed to produce a new breed of agricultural science graduates who will teach the subject in many schools.
