Coronavirus: Solidarity message by vice-chancellors of Technical Universities of Ghana

Vice-Chancellors of Technical Universities of Ghana, VCTU-G, held a virtual meeting on Wednesday, 8 April,”2020 to deliberate on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic work at the Technical Universities (TUs) across the country and to plan for the future.

The meeting observed, with great worry, the impact of the pandemic on the economic, social and academic lives of the citizenry.

The meeting also noted the contributions of stakeholders in the fight against the pandemic, and VCTU-G makes particular mention of the following people and groups and says ‘Ayekoo:’

1. The government of Ghana, led by the President, for providing the needed leadership to contain the spread of COVID-19, including social mitigating action plans for the citizenry.

2. All health workers for putting their lives on the line every day to help fight the pandemic. Their patriotic sacrifices would be in the hearts of all Ghanaians forever.

3. Various stakeholders who have contributed in diverse ways to help fight the pandemic.

VCTU-G wishes to assure government, parents, students and the general public that all Technical Universities have deployed virtual learning platforms, respectively, and academic work will continue online until conditions return to normal.

VCTU-G joins all Ghanaians in prayer for an early end to this pandemic. Long live Ghana and God bless our homeland Ghana!
