Bibiani (WN/R), Oct. 07, GNA – The Paramount Chief of Sefwi Anhwiaso Traditional Area, Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II, has asked Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), to establish a University in the Bibiani Municipality if voted as the next President.
He made the appeal at Bibiani, when Vice President Dr Bawumia and his campaign team paid a courtesy call on him at his residence, as part of a three-day tour of the Western North Region.
The Paramount Chief, who doubles as the President of the National House of Chiefs, praised the NPP administration for the monumental projects it had brought into the Bibiani Municipality within the last seven years in office.
Ogyeahoho Gyebi II mentioned the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) School at Awaso, University of Mines and Technology’s (UMaT) satellite campus in Bibiani, and the Bibiani College of Health and Allied Sciences’ satellite campus at Sefwi Anhwiaso in the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Municipality, as some of the government’s investments in education within the area.
He said the Bibiani Municipality had become a hub for the operations of four mining companies in the area and, hence, deserved a university to train more youth in that field.
The Chief commended Dr Bawumia for engaging in a decent campaign and urged him to complete the Bibiani town road project before December 7.
Dr Bawumia said the NPP government had performed exceptionally and deserved another term to continue with its good works, for the benefit of the citizenry.
Mr Alfred Obeng Boateng, the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Constituency, pleaded with the electorate to retain him as the MP and vote for Dr Bawumia as the next President for Ghana’s sustained development.
