HENRY OSEI AKOTO WRITES ✍️
In case you don’t grasp Mahama’s stance on restoring the names of universities Akufo-Addo has renamed, let me help you understand.
Crook Akufo-Addo renamed the following universities after NPP stalwarts and Ephraim Amu. None of these universities did the NPP build.
UPSA – Nana Ampomah UPS
UDS Navrongo = CK Tedam University for Technical and Applied Sciences
UDS Wa = Simon Diedong Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies
Ho Technical University = Ephraim Amu Technical University
UENR = Dr. Busia University of Energy and Natural Resources
UEW Kumasi = Akenten Appiah Menka University of Skills and Entrepreneurial Development
UHAS = Komla Gbedemah UHAS
UMAT = George Grant UMAT (named after Paa Grant)
He wanted to rename UDS after Rawlings as a token of justification. As usual, the honourable Rawlings rejected the idea.
He has hopes of renaming the University of Ghana as JB Danquah University of Ghana.
The country’s properties are not NPP properties. They can build more infrastructure and name them after their family members if they like. But, they should leave the universities’ names alone!
