Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) Flagbearer, has cut the first sod on the four-story, 200-bed dormitory facility for the Trinity Theological Seminary in Accra.
The Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFUND) is financing the multipurpose dorm, which is a fulfillment of a promise Dr. Bawumia made to the Seminary in response to the College’s appeal for help during its 2022 Congregation, which Dr. Bawumia graced.
Speaking on Wednesday morning at the sod-cutting event at the Seminary in Accra, Dr. Bawumia stated that the development represents a significant step toward reducing the school’s accommodation shortfall and enhancing instruction.
“It is with great pleasure and excitement that we gather here today for the sod-cutting ceremony, marking the commencement of the construction of a 200-bed, four-storey hostel,” Dr. Bawumia said.
“The occasion symbolizes not just the beginning of a building project but also the dawn of a new chapter in the history of Trinity Theological Seminary. It is indeed an honour to join you all for this sod-cutting ceremony, which for me, is a very important milestone in addressing the accommodation deficit of the institution,” he added.
The Trinity Theological Seminary, Dr. Bawumia stressed, is befitting of such a magnificent facility, even as a private institution, considering the role it plays in nurturing persons of good values.
“The Trinity Theological Seminary, as an institution that trains and instills Godly values, the construction of this hostel will not only provide the much-needed accommodation for the students, but will also serve as a hub for more learning and growth. It will be a space where students from diverse backgrounds come together to exchange ideas,” he said.
Dr. Bawumia also acknowledged the immense contributions of Churches and other faith-based groups to the development of Ghana, especially in the areas of education and healthcare, adding that such collaborations and support by government, complement their efforts.
“Where would Ghana be today, without all the schools and hospitals churches and other faith-based groups have built in the country?,” he asked.
Additionally, Dr. Bawumia conveyed her appreciation to the following individuals who helped make the project’s start possible: the management of Trinity Theological Seminary; the Honorable Minister for Education; the Board of Trustees and Management of the GETFUND; and the Board and Management of GTEC.
The hostel will have a kitchenette, a sports center, a study space, and accommodation, among other amenities.
