The Bolgatanga Technical University BTU, (formally Bolgatanga Polytechnic) is a public tertiary institution in the Upper East Region of Ghana, West Africa.[1] It is gradually increasing its courses and facilities following the achievement of university status. It was converted into a Technical University during the administration of the former president of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama.[2] The institution was established in 1999 but started rolling out its academic programs in September 2003 as Bolgatanga Polytechnic.[3]
