Tamale Technical University ( TaTU)
13th Congregation

Tamale Technical University Students is pleading to Government of Ghana to come their Aid.

Students and Alumni of Tamale Technical University (TaTU) have called on government to as a matter of priory and urgency constitute the Governing Council of TaTU to avert possible collapse of the University.

Students and Alumni of TaTU said the absence of the Governing Council of TaTU had made it difficult for “Management to take certain vital decisions to enhance effective academic work and progress of the institution.”

This was contained in a statement issued by Students’ Representative Council of TaTU signed by Mr Alhassan Kamaldeen, its President, and Mr Prince Mash-hud Abdulai, President of TaTU Alumni, and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Tamale on Wednesday.

It would be recalled that TaTU was among the last two Polytechnics to be converted to technical university status having gone through the rigorous processes to meet all the requirements.

Tamale and Cape Coast Technical Universities’ Governing Councils were subsequently scheduled to be inaugurated as Polytechnic Governing Councils alongside Wa and Bolgatanga Polytechnics.

This attempt was fiercely resisted, culminating in the inauguration of Wa and Bolgatanga Polytechnics’ Governing Councils separately, and subsequently, Cape Coast Technical University had its Governing Council inaugurated leaving TaTU without a Council.

The statement said “The question we ask government is: How long will it take for government to present its representatives to pave way for the constitution of the TaTU Governing Council?

It expressed the disappointment of TaTU students and Alumni “On the deliberate delay by government to constitute and inaugurate the Governing Council of TaTU.”

The statement said “Since the conversation of Polytechnics to Technical Universities in 2016, these institutions are faced with numerous challenges ranging from lack of adequate infrastructure, poor state of existing facilities, poor staff motivation and other serious challenges contributing to their low pace of progress.”

It said “TaTU is seriously facing governance challenges due to the lack of Governing Council to enhance policy formulation and decisions that require the resolution of council,” adding, “All these worrying challenges could have been avoided if the Governing Council were put in place by Government.”

It said “to bring TaTU to equal level to be effectively run, we implore government to respond urgently to our call to put a Governing Council in place” adding, “We hope government will respond urgently to our call for a Governing Council as such may forestall undesired consequences on our campus.”

*DELAY IN THE GRADUATION OF TaTU STUDENTS, AN EPIDEMIC TO THE EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO THE NORTHERN REGION.*

We don't doubt the competence and wisdom of the authorities and lecturers of our school, but we are sorry to say they are getting us disappointed in them.
As victims of last year dissolution of governing councils, we thought pragmatic strategies would have been put in place to curb future problems like today.
Must it take a full year for our lecturers to mark our project work or must it take half a year for the responsible committees to sit and deliberate on this?
Tamale Technical University for past few year has always been part of the last schools to graduate their students, denying them opportunities over their colleagues in other institutions. How do you expect students who past through this school to recommend it to their younger brothers. The management of the school is now telling us that they are incompetent and they are giving we the student the reasons to see wisdom in NCTE agenda to take full control of the Technical Universities, because if NCTE can prove to us that their management of this institutions is going to ensure timely and uniformly graduation of all Technical Universities students that will give us equal opportunities at equal times with our colleagues in the other institutions, we will warmly welcome their idea since it will yield a positive results for us.
Many people missed opportunities because they don't have their certificates yet we still don't know when we would be graduated. Our colleagues in other institutions graduated months a go and we want to send a warning to the management especially the governing council of Tamale Technical University to prove to us that they can be autonomous else in the coming two weeks we would come out to support the bill that will give NCTE the full control to manage the school.
We saw countless times lecturers or various unions of polytechnics and Technical Universities lecturers releasing press statement on their unpaid allowance yet they are deliberately delaying the release of our results which would also give us the qualifications to also look for jobs or further our education.
The conduct of the management of the school in this issue has discouraged many people from attending Technical Universities or Polytechnics because they end up graduating their students in the fourth year with the traditional university students who have done degree in four years, so they see no reason to attend this institutions unless they can't find their desire courses in the traditional universities.
We are hoping by this statement we will hear a good news from the school as soon as possible.
