GOVERNMENT OF GHANA SHOULD
TAKE THE FUTURE AND DESTINIES OF THE YOUTH
SERIOUSLY
The New Patriotic Party has noted with serious
concern that as many as fifty three (53)
tertiary institutions are operating in various
parts of the country without proper
certification and accreditation according to a
recent release by the National Accreditation
Board (NAB).
According to the Board, such “institutions do
not have the mandate to award or issue academic
or professional certificates, neither the
institutions nor their programmes are accredited
by the board.”
We note with disdain the shameful attempt to
shift blame to parents and unsuspecting students
who have become victims of this criminal
dereliction of duty on the part of such a
crucial state agency.
The inaction and irresponsible attitude of the
NAB poses a real threat to the status of
tertiary education in the country.
The loss to individuals and companies has been
enormous. Thousands of parents have been duped
millions of cedis and youthful productive time
wasted.
The New Patriotic Party wishes to express its
utmost shock at the loud silence of President
Mahama and the NDC government on this very
important matter of public concern.
We demand that the Government takes immediate
action to correct these anomalies, punish those
found culpable as well as finding ways to
mitigate the sufferings of unsuspecting students
and parents.
In the meantime, the NPP wants to assure the
youth of our dear country that we have well
thought-out policies that will ensure their
talents and capabilities do not go waste under a
Nana Akufo Addo led NPP administration.
The government is hereby put on notice that by
all legitimate means possible, the NPP shall
hold the government accountable to protect the
interest of the citizens of our dear country
Ghana.
…Signed…
Kwabena Agyei Agyepong
(General Secretary)
