Justice of the Supreme Court, His Lordship Justice Jones
Victor Mawulom Dotse, has charged technical universities to support the work of
artisans by creating the necessary linkages with artisans to ensure knowledge
transfer and contribute meaningfully to national development.
He said the universities must link up with the industrialists,
practical craftsmen and artisans, and provide them with theoretical support in
their fabrication and manufacture of small scale industrial machines.
According to Justice Dotse, this is the
surest way to make theory and practice complement each other.
"My charge to the Ho Technical
University is that, in order to maintain the legacies of Vodzi and Afeti, the
university must create the necessary linkages and interface with those who are
practice in the various vocations and trades," he said.
Justice Dotse was delivering the maiden
Afeti -Vodzi Lectures at Ho Technical University (HTU).
The lecture was instituted to celebrate the
works of Dr. George Mawusi Afeti and the late Mr. James Yaovi Vodzi and the
roles they played to transition Ho Polytechnic, now Ho Technical University,
into a tertiary institution.
Dr Afeti took over from Mr Vodzi as
principal of the then Ho Polytechnic.
Assessing the leadership
roles of both honorees, Justice Dotse remarked "Vodzi, like John the
Baptist, prepared the way for Dr. Afeti. I can say that, both Vodzi and Afeti
were persons who exhibited a high degree of confidence and integrity in their
work. Dr. Afeti on the other hand, came to explore the dreams he had about
technical education and decidedly raised it to greater heights," said
Justice Dotse.
