    Yes, there were consultations with the people. Mills/ Mahama out of disrespect to ER are rather doing their own

    Why were the other two varsities built in the regional capitals and not Atebubu or Kpandu.

  • Luther King ???? 8 years ago

    Charles, I find your arguments rather strange and contradictory. If every development agenda was to focus on only economic viability then am sure no village will have electricity or water. The fact that the varsity is startin ...
