He suggested that government should have rather  re-channeled the resources for the two universities into expanding the  infrastructural base of the UDS which he claimed, is in dire straits.<br \/>\n\u201cWe  want the Upper West and the Upper East which already have branches or  faculties or departments of UDS to be developed into full blown  universities\u2026This whole business of the NDC government leaving  uncompleted jobs to start new ones does not make sense,\u201d Mr. Dery said.<br \/>\nBut contributing to a panel discussion on <strong>PeaceFM\u2019s \u201cKokrokoo<\/strong>\u201d,  Mr. Allotey Jacobs lampooned the NPP MP for his \u201cinappropriate\u201d remarks  but said he was not surprised by Hon. Dery\u2019s statement since that seems  to be the stock in trade of the NPP; constant criticisms.<br \/>\n\u201cI  believe that we should congratulate the president. How can Ambrose Dery  say it is not important to have a university in the Volta and Brong  Ahafo Region, but rather the funds should be used to upgrade the  University of Development Studies (UDS)? Does it mean that the  Voltarians do not need a University?\u201d he quizzed.<br \/>\nMr. Allotey  Jacobs, who was hopeful that the president\u2019s sod-cutting will not be in  vain, and that the construction and completion of the two Universities  will result in about a 1000 people including professors, being employed.<br \/>\nBut the Vice President of the  Federation of International Women Lawyers (FIDA-Int), Ursula Owusu, a  co-panelist on the show, pointed out that \u201chitting the ground with a  pickaxe does not mean the completion of a project\u201d cautioning that the  euphoria surrounding the ground-breaking event could be short-lived.<br \/>\nHer  reason; president Mills did a sod-cutting exercise with regards to the  \u201cDansoman road and up till now the project has since not been  completed\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director of Communications for the ruling NDC in the Central Region, Ben Allotey Jacobs, says it will be in the best interest of the nation if Ghanaians vote to keep the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in opposition.
