Accra Technical University (ATU) has signed a significant contract with FT Global Investment Limited to expand the University’s ICT Block from four floors to eight. The agreement, which was formalised at a brief ceremony in the Council Chamber, represents a significant investment in ATU’s technological future and growing academic needs.

Speaking at the signing, the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Amevi Acakpovi, stated that the project has become crucial due to the steady increase in student enrollment and the introduction of new, technology-driven programmes.

“Our current ICT Block can no longer meet the demand. This expansion will give students and staff a modern space for hands-on training, research, and digital innovation,” he stated. He urged the contractor to deliver the project on schedule and reaffirmed management’s full support throughout the construction period.

The Managing Director of FT Global Investment Limited, Dr. Issah Mohammed, thanked ATU for the confidence placed in his company. He assured the University community that the project will be delivered to a high standard.

“We will provide a quality, fully integrated building that ATU will be proud of,” he said.
Construction is expected to begin in the first week of January 2026 and is anticipated to take approximately 18 months to complete. Upon completion, the new eight-storey ICT Block will feature additional computer laboratories, digital lecture theatres, administrative and academic offices, and enhanced ICT infrastructure to support modern teaching and learning.

Present at the ceremony were the Acting Pro-Vice-Chancellor, the Acting Registrar, and Directors of Finance, Procurement, Works and Physical Development, and Public Affairs. Their presence underscored ATU’s collective commitment to the project.

The expansion of the ICT Block marks another bold step in strengthening ATU’s position as a leader in technical and vocational education, providing students with the right environment to learn, innovate, and excel.
