    "excerpt": "Newmont Africa has officially handed over a newly completed GH¢13.9 million satellite campus to the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT) at Kenyasi Number Two in the Asutifi North District of the Ahafo Region, significantly expanding access to tertiary technical education in Ghana’s mining enclave. The facility, funded through the Newmont Ahafo Development Foundation (NADeF), was presented to the state at a colourful ceremony marked by rich traditional performances and attended by government officials, traditional authorities, and representatives of the mining company. The initiative marks a historic first in Ghana’s extractive sector, with Newmont becoming the first mining company to fully construct and hand over an entire university campus to the government an intervention widely seen as a bold step in aligning resource extraction with sustainable human capital development. The newly built campus is anchored by a modern four-storey academic block comprising eight lecture halls, an ICT laboratory, a library, five offices, a server room, an elevator and ten washrooms. It also features a four-unit lecture pavilion with additional teaching spaces, walkways and sanitation facilities. In a move to optimise existing infrastructure, an abandoned office complex previously used by the Newmont Ahafo South Mine has been refurbished into a fully operational administrative block...",
