The Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu has said the Minority in Parliament will resist any attempts by the Akufo-Addo led administration to revert the Tamale Technical University to a Polytechnic.
According to him, the university was given a presidential assent in 2016 and has called on the Akufo-Addo government to fasten the submission of the recommendations of the assessment committee to Parliament for an act of Parliament to be passed on the conversion so that it will be backed by law.
Haruna Iddrisu who was speaking at a forum organised by the Tertiary Educational Institutions Network (TEIN) of the Tamale Technical University to welcome first year students into the school, said the delay in passing legislation on the university is delaying decisions that will merit the growth of the school since there is no governing council in place to take such critical decisions and has therefore charged students to resist any efforts by government to downgrade the institution.
Speaking about the National Democratic Congress, he indicated that “2016 is history and 2020 is the future and so let’s put the past behind us and reorganize for 2020 to take over our lost seats in Parliament and the flagstaff house from the NPP government that is ruling with contradictions”.
