The effects of delays in executing projects coupled with associated cost overruns and other negative implications cannot be overemphasized. Key projects that we expect to be completed are the uncompleted academic and residential facilities.

The Regional Minister used the occasion to enumerate a number of projects government has outlined as part of its flagship programme of one- district one-factory in the Volta Region.
Page SIX Page SEVEN university education have emerged as serious concerns of the sector for some time now. In addition, it is a well- known fact that most of the institutional personnel do not have the knowledge and skills for quality assurance. The situation has been further aggravated by poor to no orientation and induction of new personnel. It is also a fact that the reputation of an institution is at risk if there are perceptions of poor quality. In that regard, it should be emphasized that institutional internal quality assurance mechanisms become more critical in the improvement of Higher Education standards. African Higher Education is guided by some of the priority areas agreed upon in the Declaration and Action Plan of the 1st Higher Education Summit on ND Revitalizing Higher Education for Africa's Future 2 VICE-CHANCELLOR'S held in Dakar, Senegal (10-12 March, 2015) which DISTINGUISHED LECTURE include the improvement of Higher Education quality in the 21st Century.

This also helps to manage and support a move towards the quality culture. It is also very urgent to look into the development of knowledge and skills for higher education quality assurance personnel because they are recruited with no due consideration of QA qualifications. The development of knowledge and skills for higher education personnel (lecturers, registrars, deans, chairpersons) is equally important because they are the custodians of quality in departments, faculties, student enrolments, staff recruitments, record keeping, examination process etc. Communication, Documentation and Data Collection in quality assurance for record keeping as well as monitoring and evaluation of both students and staff are also key tenets of QA.

The Vice-Chancellor noted that the main objective of the collaboration is to build capacities of faculty and staff of HTU and external publics who wish to acquire higher degrees. He challenged the faculty and staff of the 1st batch not to disappoint Management by completing the programme on or before the duration.
