He said the importance of the disinfection in the wake of the COVID-19 epidemic in the country cannot be over emphasized 

He disclosed that following the virus, the university has resorted to the use of technology to teach the students.

However, Amo Asimeng appealed to the government to include private universities, especially in any package that will enhance education at the tertiary level, following the global pandemic.

From the Valley View University, Techiman Campus, the Zoomlion disinfection crew moved to Methodist University College Ghana, Wenchi Campus, in the Bono Region.

The Head in charge of all the Departments at the university, Rev Francis Aboagye-Nuamah, said the university was well prepared to receive the continuing students.

He also lauded Zoomlion and MoE for the second phase of the disinfection exercise in tertiary institutions.

While highlighting the significance of the exercise, the Zoomlion General Manager in charge of Ahafo, Bono and Bono East Regions, Esther Abayeta Asadoo, urged Ghanaians to continue observing all the COVID-19 safety protocols.
