Past students of the Kumasi Technical University (KTU) are up in arms with authorities, over the undue delay in issuing them certificates more than two years after completion.
The aggrieved students who say they are stranded because no one is willing to employ them with the provisional transcripts given them, are calling for government’s intervention for the school to hold the graduation ceremony.
So far, none of the 2015 and 2016 year groups of students of KTU have received certificates though they have duly completed various courses of study.

They say due to economic hardships and limited employment avenues in the country; it is difficult for them to go job hunting without certificates.
On Kumasi based Fox Fm, some students in an interview revealed that since their completion in 2015/2016 academic year, no effort has been made to hold a graduation ceremony for them not to even talk about their certificates.
“Till date, there is no Governing Council to make decisions as to when our graduation is going to be held. If the government is able to intervene and set up a governing council, at least two weeks will be enough for KTU to graduate us. For now, our graduation is long overdue; therefore, all we seek is for the president to give an Executive Order for KTU management to do exactly what they are supposed to do for us. This is all we ask from the presidentâ€. Kuma Alfred Brown a student of the University said.

The students affirmed their believe President Akufo Addo can carry out their request, stressing what the university has so far given them is a provincial transcript which most employees turn not to accept for job seekers.
