With hearts weighed down by sorrow, the Koforidua Technical University community joins the entire nation in mourning the tragic loss of eight (8) gallant souls who made the ultimate sacrifice in line of service to Ghana in the recent air crash.
Their courage, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the mission they undertook will forever inspire generations. They fell in the line of duty, safeguarding the future of our land and standing as true examples of patriotism.
Though their earthly journey has ended, their legacy, service, and the love they shared remain etched in the hearts of all who knew them. In their respective fields, they stood as pillars of dedication, courage, and commitment, their work touching lives and shaping a future they will no longer see but helped to build.
Though their voices are now silent, the echoes of their service will resound in our hearts. They have left an enduring legacy of loyalty, unity, and love for country. We will remember them not for the tragedy of their passing, but for the light of their lives. Each was a beacon, inspiring colleagues, friends, and family with their compassion, excellence, and quiet strength.
In this dark hour, we extend our deepest condolences to their families, colleagues, friends, and all affected by this devastating loss. May the Almighty grant their souls eternal rest, and may their memories forever be a guiding light for our nation and continue to inspire hope, unity, and the pursuit of a better tomorrow.
Rest well, heroes of Ghana.
Your lives were a blessing, your memories a treasure, and your absence deeply felt.

Koforidua Technical University (KTU) has officially entered into a strategic partnership with Thrive Africa, an organisation dedicated to accelerating digital skill development across the continent. The collaboration was formalised at a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremony held on campus.
KTU was represented by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. John Owusu, and the Registrar, Ms. Evelyn Fafa Adom, while Mr. Gad Ocran, Founder and CEO of Thrive Africa, signed on behalf of the organisation.
This landmark partnership sets the stage for transformative digital education initiatives aimed at empowering the next one million Africans with high-paying, in-demand digital skills. The collaboration will roll out short, intensive 3-month courses in cutting-edge areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, and more.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Ocran emphasised the urgency for students and the youth of KTU to embrace digital transformation. “In today’s rapidly evolving AI-driven world, it is crucial for young people to prioritise acquiring relevant, future-ready skills. We believe this partnership will serve as a bridge between academic learning and the real-world needs of the digital economy,” he said.
He also highlighted the importance of strengthening ties between academia and industry to ensure that students graduate not only with theoretical knowledge but with practical, job-ready expertise.
This collaboration marks a significant step toward KTU’s mission to become a hub for innovation, technology, and industry-ready talent in Ghana and beyond.
Koforidua Technical University (KTU), in its continuous commitment to health excellence and capacity building, successfully organised a three-day Malaria Diagnostic Refresher Training for its medical laboratory staff. The training took place from July 14 to July 16, 2025, and was aimed at enhancing the knowledge and practical skills of laboratory professionals in the accurate diagnosis of malaria, one of Ghana’s most prevalent public health concerns.
Organised in collaboration with health training facilitators and laboratory experts, the workshop brought together participants from the university’s health directorate and affiliated medical units. The training combined theory with intensive hands-on practice to ensure participants could confidently apply updated diagnostic procedures in their professional environments.
Pre-Training Assessment:
Participants underwent a structured pre-test to evaluate their baseline knowledge and identify key areas of improvement.
Slide Preparation Techniques:
Trainees were introduced to best practices in preparing high-quality blood smear slides, a fundamental step in malaria microscopy.
Parasite Identification:
Guided microscopy sessions helped participants enhance their ability to detect and differentiate malaria parasites in blood samples.
Parasite Counting Procedures:
Emphasis was placed on the proper methods for counting parasites per microliter of blood to ensure accurate disease staging and treatment planning.
Species Differentiation:
Attendees were trained to identify the different species of malaria parasites — a critical skill for determining appropriate treatment regimens.
Post-Training Assessment:
A comprehensive post-test was administered to evaluate knowledge retention, practical improvement, and overall mastery of the training content.
The refresher training concluded with commendations from both facilitators and participants, highlighting its relevance and impact on laboratory practice. By equipping laboratory professionals with up-to-date diagnostic skills, the initiative is expected to improve the accuracy of malaria diagnosis at KTU’s health facilities and contribute positively to patient care outcomes within the university and surrounding communities.
This program underscores KTU’s dedication to professional development, public health advancement, and its role in supporting Ghana’s broader efforts to combat malaria through early detection and effective treatment.
