Well-wishers and the general public continue to donate to the Cape Coast Technical University ahead of the climax of its 40th Anniversary. The University which was established in 1984 with a population of Twenty-four (24) now has a student population of about Five Thousand (5,000). The increase in enrollment meant more infrastructure had to be built to accommodate the numbers.

For this reason, the Institution sought to address the problem by building a hostel facility termed the Legacy Project and sought for donations to make this happen. This call saw a government nominee to the Cape Coast Technical University Governing Council and CEO of ADK Consortium, a Consultancy Firm in Ghana, Ing. Dr. Michael Krakue, donating an amount of GH ¢80,000 as seed money to kick start the University’s 40th Anniversary Fundraising Event.

It was a momentous event on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, when the newly appointed Chancellor of the University, Dr. James Condua Orleans—Lindsay’s JL Properties and ORLIN Construction Ghana Ltd, made a total donation of GH ¢200 000.00 to the University.

The Chancellor, Dr. James Condua Orleans—Lindsay, is ranked among Ghana’s most cherished business leaders. He is the CEO of JL Properties and a member of the Board of Directors of ORLIN Construction Ghana Ltd. He has employed hundreds and engineered corporate accomplishments across construction, beverage production, security services, bakery, agriculture, aquaculture, consultancy, etc.

At the forecourt of the University’s Main Administration Block, Mr. Ato Ahomka Orleans-Lindsay, Director, JL Properties, on behalf of the Executive Chairman of JL Holdings, Dr. James Condua Orleans–Lindsay, the Chancellor, presented a Cheque of GH¢150, 000.00 to the University. He re-echoed the Chancellor’s desire to support the University towards its optimal growth. 

Also, Mr. David Odoi-Tetteh, the Managing Director of ORLIN Construction Ghana Ltd, presented a Cheque for GH¢50,000.00 to support the University’s Legacy Project. He pledged his company’s unrelenting support for the university's objectives, saying...

“We believe in the vision and goal of the institution and we are always on standby. Anytime we are called to support, we will always do our best to support”.

The Registrar, Dr. Anthony H. Turkson in his remarks while receiving the donations on behalf of CCTU Management, expressed his profound gratitude to JL Properties and ORLIN Construction Ghana Ltd for the generosity and love, shown to the University. He reiterated the University’s commitment towards effective collaboration with other industry players and stakeholders.

Dr. Anthony H. Turkson mentioned a number of the Legacy Projects of the school in the near future but was quick to add that, the projection can only be achieved with adequate, robust and sustainable funding. He, therefore, called on all stakeholders, alumni and the general public to join in raising funds to support Cape Coast Technical University.

The donation ceremony was witnessed by some members of the University Council and Management, the 40th Anniversary Planning Committee, Alumni Association Executives, Staff of JL Properties, Staff of ORLIN Construction Ghana Ltd and the Media.
