There has been significant improvement in terms of infrastructure,\u201d he said.<br><br>According to him, the limited infrastructure situation that prompted the double-track has been improved.<br><br>He said the GETFund had ensured the completion of about 1,400 infrastructure that had made it possible for the government for the double-track system to be suspended.<br><br>\u201cIn 2017, GETFund did an infrastructure review and realized that over 3,700 projects had been abandoned. Just after last year, over 1,400 of these projects has been done so clearly the result of this is accommodation to a large extent, so that brings a significant improvement in the accommodation situation we\u2019ve been talking about.\u201d<br><br>Kwasi Kwarteng further called on persons still having difficulty with placement to remain calm as the resolution centers remain open.<br><br>\u201cEven though some first years are joining, our resolutions centres will still be there to help students who may have issues with their placements and will require assistance,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>S<strong>END A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion\/advertisement?
