Parliament of Ghana has passed the University of Engineering and Agricultural Sciences Bill, 2025, paving the way for the establishment of a new specialised public university.
The legislation provides a legal framework for the governance, management, and operations of the proposed University of Engineering and Agricultural Sciences.
The bill was laid before Parliament by John Abdulai Jinapor on behalf of Haruna Iddrisu and subsequently referred to the Education Committee for review.
During deliberations, the Committee engaged stakeholders including Clement Apaak, officials from the Ministry of Education of Ghana, and the Office of the Attorney-General of Ghana.
Under the new framework, the main campus of the university will be located at Bunsu, with additional campuses planned for Kenyasi and Acherensua.
The multi-campus structure is aimed at decentralising tertiary education, expanding access for students in underserved areas, and reducing pressure on infrastructure in major cities.
According to the Committee, the bill is timely and essential, as it introduces modern governance systems, promotes academic freedom and inclusivity, and strengthens transparency and financial accountability within the institution.
