Touting some of the projects carried out by the government, Mr. Amissah Arthur indicated that, the inroads in the sector, have made education in Ghana attractive for other West African nationals to seek higher education in the country.

[contextly_sidebar id=”KwUvtSSHn2wkMMsFofH3NSIP48sKlviD”]The Vice President is also confident the improvement in the quality of education will make Ghanaian students competitive at the global level.

He made the remarks when he commissioned a girls’ dormitory for the Jinijini Senior High School on the third day of his campaign tour in the Brong Ahafo region.

“We have also improved the facilities within the classroom. We have provided more science education, we have provided computers and so on to allow people from the very early stage of the school programme to be able to become comfortable with new technology.

“At the secondary level, we have provided new classrooms, we have provided dormitory blocks, we have provided science laboratories to enable students to be better. At the tertiary level, we have done similar things. Now all the English speaking countries in West Africa prefer to come to Ghanaian universities rather than go to universities in their countries so that shows that the quality is improving…We want you to vote for President Mahama so he can continue with these important things that he is doing,” he said.

Vote for Mahama on Dec. 7

Vice President Kwesi Amissah Arthur also urged voters in the Tain Constituency in the region, to vote massively for President Mahama and the NDC Parliamentary candidate, Kwesi Gyan-Tutu in the upcoming election.

Mr. Amissah Arthur argued that, the developmental projects undertaken by the NDC will increase to improve on the quality of life of residents, if the party is retained in office.

He urged the electorates to ignore the opposition NPP and vote massively for the NDC.

“The election is like a football match. The losing team is itching for a closure of the game, but the winning team wants the game to end successfully. We in the NDC have decided not to respond to the NPP who we already know have lost the election. The power to decide lies in the power of the thumb, and that is what you will demonstrate on election day. I am therefore confident that all of you will vote for the parliamentary candidate, Akwasi Gyan Tutu and President Mahama.”

He said job creation would be an important part of the economic agenda in the next Mahama dministration, and the health sector would not be left out.

“The number of hospitals and other health centres being set up will require personnel such as doctors, nurses and pharmacists among others and we are assuring a large number of job openings for all in the health sector,” he said.

The Vice President has therefore called for the renewal of the mandate of President Mahama to enable him continue along the line of creating jobs and developing infrastructure.

Mr Amissah-Arthur mentioned the road construction projects being undertaken by government across the country, expanding electricity to rural areas, construction of hospitals, and other health post, and building new schools, as some of the projects by government to develop the country.

“Clearly, a government that is doing all these projects for Ghanaians, like the Mahama administration cannot be described as incompetent and it is only those political parties with no message that will say so,” he said.

He disclosed that, as a social Democratic Party, the NDC would continue to introduce policies and programmes that would gear towards empowering the rural folks and make their lives better.

He said, government would continue to provide electricity to the rural areas, build more schools and health centres, as well as creating jobs, as a way of improving their standard of living.

Mr Amissah-Arthur also urged the electorates to vote for President Mahama in the upcoming December 7 elections to enable him continue the developmental agenda for the country.

Addressing hundreds of National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters at Kumbungu as part of his four-day tour of the Northern Region, the Vice President said there is no need changing a performing president like John Dramani Mahama.

[contextly_sidebar id=”10TvkBvU1y5kZ4196EeLhyFy28j0ZgEm”]He said such a change would be disruptive as it would take the country backwards.

He said President Mahama has invested heavily in infrastructure, particularly roads, schools, hospitals, and provision of electricity, among others.

Vice President Amissah Arthur said with the solid foundation already in place, it is very imperative that President Mahama is given another term to build on the foundation and take Ghana to the promise land.

He pledged the government’s commitment to continue to expand its electrification project, construct more roads, schools and hospitals among many other social interventions.

He advised the electorates in the Kumbungu constituency not to repeat the mistake of the 2013 by-election, where they voted for a Convention People’s Party candidate to represent them in parliament, after the NDC incumbent MP, Mohammed http://buyzithromaxonlinemed.com Mumuni, was appointed to head the African Caribbean Pacific countries in Brussels.

He said the NDC’s parliamentary candidate, Ras Mubarak, an indigene of the area, is a development-oriented person, and therefore urged the electorate to vote for him.

“On December 7, when you go to the polls, vote for John Dramani Mahama as President and Ras Mubarak as your member of parliament. The NDC is going into this elections with peace in our heart and development as our vision”.

He therefore urged NDC supporters to be peaceful during the elections.

On his part, Naa Iddrisu Abu, the Chief of Kumbungu, commended government for the unprecedented projects undertaken in the area.

He said “for the first time in 50 years, Kumbungu has seen tarred roads”.

A member of the Council of State, and paramount Chief of Vogu Traditional area in the Northern region,Vo-Naa Mohammed Abdulai Bawa, endorsed the second-term bid of President John Dramani Mahama.

He made the endorsement when veep Amissah-Arthur, called on him during his campaign tour of some selected constituencies of the Northern region.
