Bong County Senator Prince Kermue Moye Sr. has formally dissolved the Sumo Moye Memorial Technical College (SMMTC), transferring all its assets to Bong County University aimed at strengthening higher education in the county.
At a well-attended ceremony involving government officials, educators, students, and civil society actors, Senator Moye described the decision as both strategic and symbolic.
N“As long as Bong County University exists, this facility will continue to be used by the BCU,” he declared.
“This is about preserving legacy while building stronger opportunities for our young people.”
The transfer completes the legal and administrative process, including the handover of facilities, equipment, and academic records to the university, formerly Bong County Technical College.
Senator Moye emphasized the need for a smooth transition, urging the university to take immediate steps.
“A transition committee must be established to review curricula, transfer student records, and address staffing,” he said.
“This consolidation will improve access to quality technical and higher education.”
Responding, BCU President Alfredson Taikerweyah reassured stakeholders of a seamless integration process.
“We will protect academic records and ensure students experience minimal disruption,” he noted.“Our focus is to streamline operations and expand program offerings in technical education.”
Senator Moye further announced a scholarship package for graduates. “All 14 AA degree holders will be sponsored to universities of their choice,” he pledged.
“The valedictorian will receive full support up to the master’s level.” This marks a significant shift in Bong County’s education sector, with expectations that the merger will enhance efficiency, expand opportunities, and better serve future generations.
