University of Agriculture and Allied Health Sciences to be established in Damongo – Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has announced that his administration will establish a new public university in the Savannah Region, with a focus on agriculture and allied sciences.

He made the announcement during his Thank You Visit to the Savannah Region on Saturday, June 14, while addressing the traditional authorities at the Jakpa Palace in Damongo.

“I’m proud to announce that in line with the NDC 2024 manifesto to establish a public university in all the six new regions, I’m happy to announce that a public university will be established in the Savannah Region,” he stated.

President Mahama explained that the institution will serve as a key driver of his government’s Feed Ghana programme and agriculture for economic transformation agenda.

“This university will train the human resource necessary to drive our Feed Ghana programme and agriculture for economic transformation agenda,” he said.

He added that the university will not merely be symbolic, but will be rooted in Ghana’s national education expansion framework and benefit from increased tertiary infrastructure funding outlined in the 2025 budget.

“The university will not just be symbolic, it will be grounded in our national agenda for skills-driven development and aligned with our national education expansion framework and the 2025 budget which allocates increased funding for tertiary infrastructure in deprived regions,” he noted.

In addition, President Mahama announced the establishment of a STEM Senior High School in Tinga in the Bole District and a TVET Centre of Excellence in Salaga to provide practical training in ICT, green technologies, construction, and agribusiness.

To support teacher development in the region, he also revealed that the Savannah College of Education in Ndeboya, previously a private community-led initiative, has now been absorbed as a public teacher training institution.

“I’ve directed the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission and GETFund to fast-track the recruitment of staff and infrastructure development in the school,” he added.

President Mahama concluded by announcing that work on the abandoned College of Education at Doli near Bole, initiated under his previous administration, will resume this year.
