The land administration project under the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has since august, 2003, embarked on land administration reform with the view to improve service delivery to all stakeholders. The project is also committed to supporting land related academic institutions, professional bodies and the private sector to ensure that they are well resourced to perform their functions. It is in this light that the land administration project has procured two 30-seater Toyota buses to augment the vehicular stock of the department of land economy as well as the department of Geomatic Engineering.

Honorable Collins Dawuda, the Minister of Lands, and Natural Resources handed over the keys to the buses to the two Provosts and hoped that the resources would assist in the University’s mandate to provide professional education in modern digital surveying and mapping research in land tenure issues and land use, planning and management as well as training specialists and technicians in land administration, both for the public and the private sector. He commended the University for contributing immensely to the achievement made so far by the project.

Prof. Asiama, the Provost of the College of Architecture and Planning thanked the Ministry and the Minister for the donation and ceased the opportunity to remind the honorable minister and his Ministry of the provision of a block for Land Economy and a geogratic information system to train students in the colleges.
Prof. K.K. Adarkwa thanked the Ministry for the vehicles and advised the Colleges to use it for the purposes for which they are meant.

Present at the ceremony were the Vice Chancellor, the Minister of Lands, and Natural Resources, Provosts, Deans, Heads of Department, the Project Manager, Lecturers, The Chaplain of the KNUST and Members of the University Community.
