Earlier the Rector of NSBT,Rev. Prof. Daniel A. Nyarko noted that its outfit’s collaboration with TVET of Cote D’Ivoire had been fruitful and hoped it would get a lot better.
To this end, he recommended for the expansion of the scope of activities under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
He particularly suggested that, the duration of the English language proficiency programme be increased to between three and six months.
He further suggested that more students should be approved for the programmes since NSBT has facilities to cater for more than five(500) students at a time.

NSBT will be more than happy to play its part in fostering relevant technical and vocational education to the teeming youths of our two countries”, he said.
