Ho Polytechnic to be upgraded into University

Ho, April 12, GNA- Professor Francis O. Kwami, Chairman of the Ho Polytechnic Council on Saturday said the Ho Polytechnic would soon be upgraded into a University.

He therefore, called on traditional authorities in the area to provide land for hostel and other facilities to accommodate students of the University.

Prof Kwami was addressing the Ho Asogli Youth Congress in Ho under the theme, "The Youth in Development of Asogli State".
