National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his pledge to reverse the name changes of public universities implemented by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government if he wins the 2024 general elections.
Speaking at the NDC’s manifesto launch in Winneba, Central Region, Mahama stated:
“We will restore the original names of public universities renamed by the NPP, ensuring they align with their core mandate.”
Mahama’s promise affects several institutions, including the Wa Campus of the University of Development Studies (UDS), renamed after Simon D. Dombo, and the Navrongo Campus, renamed after C.K. Tedam, both prominent figures in the NPP’s Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition.
The University of Energy and Natural Resources has also been renamed, with other tertiary institutions slated for potential name changes by the Akufo-Addo government.
“As I have said before, this government must begin writing their handing-over notes if they have not done so already.”
He said, this NPP administration has been the biggest political scam pulled on Ghanaians since our independence in 1957.
