    I can't believe what I am reading. No, it can't be true. The Government should remain focused and refuse to succumb to any feudal thinking pressure from whatever quarters. What a divisive pseudo-advice. Is the Act sacrosanct. ...

    Make the campuses autonomous. What exactly does Dr abdulai fear when th ...

    Why split the UDS? What is the rationale behind this move? Is it to fulfil the NDC's promise of establiahing universities in all the ten regions? Posterity will not forgive Prez. Mahama if he destroy the UDS.

    Resources for UDS are not shared equally for the campuses involved. If this was the American system equity would have prevailed. Wa campuse under the current system or legal framework will neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr develop.

    This is a Dagomba fight to keep UDS under their wings. Dr. Abdulai should give us a break. As Council Chair, he should point to one thing he has done to develop the Wa and Navrongo campuses? The Wa campus accounts for 51% of ...

    If, after losing out as CSIR Director and UDS Council Chairman Dr. Abdulai beliefs he can engineer a hold on UDS as a Dagbon heritage, he is making a mistake. Whether he likes it or not, UDS will be broken up. Northern so-cal ...

    i think that scholars in Upper east and Upper West must wake up to Challenge this unguided and backward statement made by Dr. Abdullai and Prof. Nabila. if not we the youth will never sleep with this unguided statement.

  • Chris Allem 8 years ago

    It is my candid opinion that each of the three Northern Regions must have a university.They can retain the name UDS for the Northern Region University.
    Upper East and Upper West must each have a university too.
