University of Kara: New Campus Almost Done

(Togo First) - Construction of the new University of Kara (UK) campus in Togo is nearing completion, with over 90% of the shell finished, according to Higher Education Minister Kanka-Malik Natchaba, who visited the site earlier this week.

Launched in April 2023 by President Faure Gnassingbé during a groundbreaking ceremony, the project has progressed steadily over two years. Located in Pya, 12 kilometers north of Kara, the 250,000 m² campus is designed to meet international standards for public universities.

The campus will feature classrooms, laboratories, libraries, student residences, dining areas, and sports and cultural facilities. It aims to create a modern academic environment and improve learning conditions. With a capacity of 30,000 students—up from 20,000 at the current site—the campus will address growing demand for higher education in Togo.

This initiative aligns with a broader national policy to strengthen higher education and research. “The aim is to establish and promote a center of higher education and research in each region of the country,” officials stated.
