Former President John Dramani Mahama has called on the Akufo-Addo government to fulfill its promises to teacher trainees and nursing students by paying the allowances owed them.

Mr Mahama made the call when he addressed delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ada on Friday, November 2, to wrap up his five-day campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region. Mahama Ada

He said prior to the 2016 general elections, the NDC administration explained to the students that it was better to shift them onto the students’ loan scheme in order to use the extra money to build more schools and hospitals to enable government provide them with sustainable jobs.

But then opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) criticised the decision and promised to pay the teacher trainees and nursing students allowances when elected. Mahama Ada

Former President Mahama also bemoaned the congestion in many Senior High Schools (SHS) as a result of the poor implementation of the Free Senior High School programme, citing overcrowding in dormitories and its attendant bed bugs problems in particular. Mahama Ada

He has, therefore, appealed to the government to fumigate dormitories in order to bring relief to the suffering students. On the double track system, Mr Mahama asked: “what will parents be doing with their children at home on vacation for 41 days of vacation?”

He added that parents are likely to pay more for extra tuition for their children when they go on vacation from schools next week.  Mahama Ada

  1. This man, former President John Dramani Mahama, has no shame! He created, looted and shared the national resources with his brother and a few of his cronies. Has he heard the likes of Gizie Tandoh? He stole millions of dollars meant for guinea fowls to alleviate the suffering of his own people, and told us in the face that he was a dead goat. What do we do with a dead goat?
