A record number of 4,000 fresh students participated in the 32nd matriculation ceremony of Ho Technical University (HTU) last Friday, February 28, 2025.

The ceremony witnessed the induction of 2,304 males and 1,816 females, bringing the total student population of the university to almost 10,000.

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ben Q. Honyenuga, assured the new students that HTU remains committed to providing the right conditions for their academic advancement.

He encouraged them to take advantage of the opportunities available at the university and pursue their personal development goals with zeal and enthusiasm.

Professor Honyenuga emphasised the importance of timeliness and discipline, stating that without these values, industry could not engage them.

He reminded the students that the university is not only a place for academic pursuits but also a foundation for personal growth and development.

As part of the matriculation ceremony, the university introduced a new programme, BA Communication and Applied Media Technology, expanding its academic offerings.

The Registrar, Dr Christopher Amehoe, who administered the matriculation oath, urged the fresh students to adhere strictly to the rules and regulations of HTU without compromise.

Due to the large number of students, the matriculation ceremony was held in three sessions to accommodate all attendees.
