Later,  President Mills told the people that his government, after two years of  being on the drawing board, had given meaning to the NDC\u2019s manifesto  pledge of adding two more public universities to the existing five.<br \/>\n\u201cAs  part of our \u2018Better Ghana Agenda,\u2019 we pledged to establish the  University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) in the Volta Region and  University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) in the Brong Ahafo  Region, to increase access to tertiary education,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nHe  said for those who doubted that such a day would ever come, the ceremony  and the commencement of work should be ample testimony that the NDC  government was committed to making good its promises to the people of  Ghana.<br \/>\nPresident Mills noted that against the background of  growing demand for human resources and technology, there was the need to  build a highly skilled and mobile scientific workforce for the future.  It was in that direction that the university had been established.<br \/>\nThe  various units of the University, he explained, would be established in  phases for the efficient utilization of resources and maintenance of  high academic standards.<br \/>\nThe first phase will involve the  establishment of the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Faculty of  Biomedical Sciences, School of Sports and Exercise.<br \/>\nThe second  phase will involve the establishment of a School of Dentistry and  Pharmacy which will be located in Ho. The Schools of Public Health,  Allied Health Sciences, Traditional and Alternative Medicine and Faculty  of Biomedical Sciences will be located in Hohoe. The Institute of  Medical Education and Institute of Health Research will also be in  Hohoe.<br \/>\nThe President also announced that government was working  to secure funds to rebuild the Ho Sports Stadium and turn it into a  Sports Complex. The Ho Regional Hospital, Hohoe District Hospital and  the Onchocerciasis laboratories, the President said would be refurbished  to provide office and laboratory space and classrooms to house the  Faculty of Biomedical sciences.<br \/>\nHe expressed gratitude to the people of the region for their support.<br \/>\nTogbe  Afede XIV, Agbogbomefia, said there was the urgent need for investment  in education as hat was the best strategy against the eradication of  poverty.<br \/>\nHe urged the school to produce problem-solving graduates  to address the developmental challenges of the nation. He entreated the  people of the region to take advantage of the university to improve  upon their lives in all aspects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Atta Mills would have been adjudged the best dancer among past Presidents in the history of Ghana if yesterday\u2019s sod-cutting ceremony for the commencement of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) at Ho were a dancing competition.
