The Ghana National Union of Technical Students (GNUTS), has said the Bolgatanga and Wa Polytechnics face imminent collapse due to low students\u2019 enrolment.<\/p>\n

Mr Abdul Rahaman Ibrahim, GNUTS Coordinating Secretary said the Bolgatanga and Wa Polytechnics, which are also facing challenges of low intake of students should be converted into technical universities to forestall their collapse.<\/p>\n

He explained that following the conversion of some of the nation\u2019s polytechnics into technical universities in September 2016, leaving behind the Bolgatanga and Wa Polytechnics, the two institutions are now experiencing a serious decline in enrollment.<\/p>\n

Mr Ibrahim made the appeal at a press conference to outline GNUTS\u2019s grievances to government for redress.<\/p>\n

Other GNUTS officials at the meeting included Mohammed Kamaru-Deen, Presideent; Bawa Alhassan, Treasurer; Andrews Obeng Tuwmasi, Public Relatiosn Officer; and Ms Sandra Iddrisu Agoli, Women Commissioner.<\/p>\n

The rest are Issah Abdul Somed, Research Officer; Alhassan Abdul Mutalib, GNUTS Ambassador; Ernest Addison, Accra Technical University Students Representative Council (SRC) President; and Ms Selina Assane, Accra Technical University SRC Women Commissioner.<\/p>\n
