The University of Energy and Natural Resources in Ghana needs millions to help it escape debt that has crippled its activities.
Vice-chancellor Harrison Kwame Dapaah appealed for help to the country’s vice-president, Mahamudu Bawumia, at the university graduation ceremony on 12 August in Sunyani, the Ghana News Agency reported.
Dapaah said his university requires seed funding of GH¢50 million (US$11.2m) and an extra cash allocation of GH¢10m per year over 10 years to get itself out of trouble.
