You rather are sick in the head, if you judge who will win an election by the number of people that follows them, plenty people knows you thieves have the money to throw away and so follow Bawumia to have their share, even in 2016,unless u were still a child, u would know the number of people that followed Mahama but still he eventually lost by a large margin. This idiots are always building hospitals and schools in the sky, after Akufo Addo got embarrassed by Nkrumah's impeccable records and total number of schools including universities, after eight yrs with only four and a half months to go, he's now promising to build 6 universities, what a clown thief, who is a liar as well.

Is this government really serious? Look at the unemployed graduates we have in Ghana and this government keep rolling out Universities to add to the more unemployed graduates in the country. What is the government doing to solve the unemployment problem for thousands of graduates in the country? And the quality of tertiary education in the country. How is the government going to ensure that this will be achieved?

Their tribalism and ethnic bigotry is always in display. Adutwum does not think Ghana: he is in office only to build his home area.
If you want to establish 6 new universities, should you not site them in the new regions to ensure that Ahafo, Western North, Oti, Savanna and Northeast regions benefit? These are regions which do not have either a traditional university or a technical university. Why packing more universities into Eastern, Ashanti and Greater Accra regions?

Fools in power. Non - progressive ideas from archaic prehistoric situation. Why should everybody get a university degree? Ghana currency will continue to remain non-competitive and devalued within an inflated state until our leaders concientize the populace to bite the hard bullet that comes with doing away with importing everything and rather adopting manufacturing. Fools in leadership.

How many E blocks have you built so far. If you like promise the people that you are going to build 100 universities at the end of the year you will still go. Useless government

The standard of university education Sub-Saharan Africa is subpar. As the mini says it constitutes 40%. In spite of the unemployment in Ghana, graduates can find employment outside of the country. Qualified candidates can have jobs anywhere in the world. The brain drain can result in financial repatriation to Ghana. University education is now a primary requirement.
Remember when Ghanaian teachers were needed in West African countries several years ago, the same thing can happen to qualified Ghanaian graduates.
