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.
