UDS Vice Chancellor kicks against conversion of polytechnics into universities

By -

Vice Chancellor of the University for Development Studies (UDS) Prof. Gabriel Ayum Teye has made a case against the planned conversion of polytechnics into universities.

According to him, the move will only increase the graduate unemployment population which currently stands at 300,000.

This is according to data from the Institute of Statistical and Economic Research (ISSER).

“Now we have 10 public universities that produce graduates and by next month we will have 16 public universities in Ghana.

“So if you’re having problems with 10 and you add another 6 to it making 16 are you solving the problem or compounding it,” he queried.

Prof Ayum Teye was speaking at the 22nd National Delegates’ Congress of the Graduate Students Association of Ghana (GRASAG) in Tamale.

He said government is therefore better off supporting the growth of industry to be able to absorb the large number of unemployed graduates.

“Government must support industry to grow in order to absorb the huge numbers that are churned out from the universities.

“If the jobs are not there there’s no way the person can be employed,” he said.

Supreme Court declares late Naa Dasana Andani as rightful chief of Bimbilla

The Supreme Court has declared the late Paramount Chief of the Nanumba Traditional Area, (Bimbilla), Naa Dasana Andani, as the rightful chief of the area. Wednesday’s decision brings clarity to the protracted Bimbila chieftaincy crisis that had led to the death of many people including Naa Andani in 2014. The five-member panel of the apex court reaffirmed the decisions of the Northern Regional House of Chiefs and the National House of Chiefs that declared Naa Andani as the legitimate chief of the area. Another claimant to the Bimbilla skin, the late Nakpa Naa Salifu Dawuni, filed the appeal at the Supreme Court challenging the decision of the National House of Chiefs. But in a unanimous decision on Wednesday May 23, 2018, the Supreme Court held that Naa Andani's lineage to the Bimbilla Skin was legitimate. “We therefore find no merit in the appeal and it is dismissed in its entirety,” the court held. The judgement was read by Mr Justice Gabriel Pwamang, while the pan...

PRESS STATEMENT BY THE FAMILY OF THE LATE YAA-NAA YAKUBU ANDANI II ON THE PURPORTED FUNERAL RITES OF LATE YAA-NAAS AS ANNOUNCED BY THE HON. NORTHERN REGIONAL MINISTER, ALHAJI MOHAMMED MUNIRU LIMUNA: MONDAY 27 JULY 2015. The attention of the family of the late Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani II has been drawn to statements published on Ghanaweb General News of Monday, 20 July 2015 and attributed to the Hon. Northern Regional Minister, Alhaji Mohammed Muniru Limuna on the purported funeral rites of late Yaa-Naas supposedly set for November. First of all we would like to express outrage at the blatant disregard for Dagbon tradition and customs by the Hon. Regional Minister who in making these statements has blatantly usurped the role of the Kuga Naa, the most senior member of the elders of Dagbon and Head of the Judicial Council of Dagbon, who is the only person who has the traditional authority and customary responsibility of making such announcements. The Hon. Minister’s comments bring ba...
