Former President, John Mahama has said that the next National Democratic Congress government will build universities in the newly created regions.
He said if he is voted into power in the upcoming elections, he will universities in the new regions to developed the human resources and create opportunities.
Addressing some supporters of the NDC in Somanya as part of his campaign in the Eastern Region, Mr. Mahama said “Through the instrumentality and the vision of the late President, John Evans Atta Mills, the University of Energy and Natural Resources was established in the Brong Ahafo Region and the University of Allied and Health Sciences was established in the Volta region. In the Eastern Region, there was no public university too, so as President, I cut the sod at Somanya for the construction of the University of Environment and Sustainable Development with a satellite campus at Afram Plains.”
He also took a swipe at the President, Nana Akufo-Addo say he has no record of building universities but he has specialized in renaming universities and also diverted one to his hometown.
“Also, he will not build a university but he is very good at changing their names. You don’t know how to build institutions but you know how to rename them. You must also build some of those institutions”
