Accord on establishment of first university

    ABIDJAN

    Representatives of Lisbon's Lusofona university and the Guinea-Bissau Ministry of Education signed an agreement on Monday in Bissau to establish the country's first university, Lusa reported.

    The chairman of the commission set up to establish the Amilcar Cabral University said the accord was a "decisive step" in the project. The university will be a public institution, to be administered by a private group that may be set up with capital from Portugal and Guinea-Bissau, Lusa quoted Tcherno Djalo as saying.
