Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has promised to establish an Agricultural University in Afram Plains.
Speaking to party supporters in the constituency, Mahama revealed that his administration had secured a loan from Korea for the project. However, he claimed that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government redirected the funds for other purposes.
Mahama reassured the people of Afram Plains that the NDC is committed to delivering this project once they are in power. He further outlined that the Agricultural University would have two campuses: one in Afram Plains North and the other in Afram Plains.
“While we were in government, we went to Korea for a loan to construct an agricultural university here in Afram Plains. Unfortunately, we lost power and the NPP coming in used the money for something else. Please don’t lose hope, when we come we will construct the university.
“The University’s headquarters will be at Somanya, the Eastern University we established. It will also have two campuses, one in Afram Plains North and the other in Afram Plains South. We have a lot of initiatives in stock for Afram Plains. We will construct polyclinics and fix your roads for you”, he stated.
