The Mahama-led 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) and several other public universities across the country.
The announcement was made by Minister for Education Haruna Iddrisu during the swearing-in of the Governing Council of CKT-UTAS in Accra.
The minister stated that the renaming is part of a broader national review of institutions that were renamed or established under the former President Nana Akufo-Addo’s government.
“We have had extensive consultations with the academic community, traditional rulers, alumni associations, students, and civil society,” Haruna said.
“As a result, the name C.K. Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences is likely to change possibly reverting to the original vision.”
He clarified that the initiative is not intended to diminish the legacies of individuals previously honoured but rather to reflect the historical identity and foundational ethos of the affected institutions.
Among the institutions under consideration for renaming are the University of Mines and Technology and Abdulai Salifu University.
The proposed bill, expected to be tabled in Parliament soon, will formalise these changes as part of the government’s broader efforts to reshape the public university landscape in alignment with national development priorities.
