Both the Sunyani and Dormaa Campuses of the University are said by Management to be experiencing a poor Vodafone network system. The Director further in her speech acknowledged the existing challenges faced by the University and assured that the team is working with the Information Technology Directorate of UENR to address them.
She rolled out plans to fix the University network system on campus. Notable among the areas mentioned included increased band rate on campus, provision of mobile lines for staff at a discounted rate as well as increased student data package from four (4) gig to nine (9) gig all geared towards facilitating effective communication within the University. She also encouraged students of the University to take advantage of the Vodafone Discovery Graduate Programme and apply for job opportunities at Vodafone.
