PU has won a highly competitive international scientific, innovative and economic development grant from KFW/IFE to construct an ultramodern engineering and technological hub dubbed, PENTECOST ENGINEERING VILLAGE. The E-village is expected to be a hub for the development and advancement of technology in Ghana and Africa. This is expected to create over 1500 new and sustainable jobs and train 3000 youth for short- and medium-term qualifications in the first three years of operation.
