The Mahama administration is set to introduce a new bill in Parliament aimed at renaming the C.K. Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences (CKT-UTAS), along with several other public universities across the country.

The announcement was made by the Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, during the swearing-in ceremony of the Governing Council of CKT-UTAS in Accra.

According to the minister, the proposed renaming is part of a broader effort to review and possibly rename public universities that were established or rebranded during former President Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration.

“We have had extensive consultations with the academic community, traditional rulers, alumni associations, students, and civil society. As a result, the name C.K. Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences is likely to change
possibly reverting to the original vision.

“There will be a general bill to consider the renaming of several public universities that were renamed or established during former President Akufo-Addo’s administration” he said.

Haruna Iddrisu clarified that the government’s plan to rename several public universities is not meant to diminish the legacy of the individuals for whom these institutions were originally named.

“This is not to say those individuals do not deserve recognition, but the renaming will aim to reflect the foundational ethos and historical identities of the institutions,” he added.

The University of Mines and Technology and the Abdulai Salifu University are among the institutions likely to be affected by the review.

Established in 2021 to equip students with practical and technical skills for the global job market, CKT-UTAS has faced ongoing infrastructure challenges that have hindered its academic growth. The university’s name has also sparked public debate, with some stakeholders expressing opposition since its inception.
