The Principal of Wiawso College of Education, Prof. Emmanuel Carsamer, has made a heartfelt plea to H.E. John Dramani Mahama to fulfill an infrastructure project promise made by the previous Akuffo Addo-led NPP government to the college.
Speaking at the 15th graduation ceremony held by the college on January 18, 2025, Prof. Carsamer emphasized, “Insufficient facilities have been a crucial hindrance for admitting the required number of students to pursue their tertiary education.”
He explained that the college wished to admit more students, but the limited facilities and infrastructure have become their major problem, with the NPP government promising to help them but never materialized.
He also appealed to the Education Minister-designate, Hon. Harruna Iddrisu, to endeavor to put up a 300-bed capacity hostel, which the former Minister, Hon. Osei Yaw Adutwum, had promised during the previous Akuffo Addo-led NPP administration.
Prof. Carsamer further called on other corporate institutions, especially the Anglican Church, to come to their aid and make their presence felt in the school.
