'It's disrespectful!' – Asogli State tackles gov't's 'no-consultation' move to rename Ho Tech. Uni. after Ephraim Amu
The chiefs of the Asogli State have objected to the government's proposal to rename Ho Technical University after Dr. Ephriam Amu.
The decision, initially disclosed in February 2018, has faced criticism from the Traditional Council due to the absence of consultations with key stakeholders.
At a press conference held on Monday, April 22, 2024, the council expressed profound disappointment with both the government and the university's governing council for proceeding with the renaming without engaging major stakeholders, notably the Asogli State Council, the custodians of the land.
The Asogli State Council has characterised the decision as regrettable, poorly conceived, and disrespectful, citing its failure to incorporate the perspectives of those directly affected.
Representing the Asogli State Council, Togbe Adzi Lakle Howusu XII reiterated their staunch opposition to the renaming, underscoring its lack of merit and its disregard for the university's identity and legacy.
"Our attention has, once again, been drawn to attempts by authorities of the Ho Technical University and the government to rename the institute to Dr. Ephraim Amu Technical Institute. The Asogli State Council wishes to reaffirm our strong opposition to the government’s decision to rename the university without consulting the chiefs and people of Ho”, he said.
“The Asogli State Council views the decision to rename the institution without due consultation as an unfortunate, misplaced and disrespectful decision.”
