Sandema (U/E), July 28, GNA – Vice President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has promised to construct a nursing training college in the Builsa North Municipality of the Upper East Region if given the nod to become president.

“A tertiary institution in this district is something that I want to promise you as president; I will make sure you have it…” he told the Sandem-Nab, Paramount Chief of the Builsa Traditional Area, Nab Azaksuk Azantilow.

Dr Bawumia, who called on the Paramount Chief at his Palace on the first day of his tour to the region, made the promise when Nab Azantilow repeated his appeal for a tertiary institution, among other projects, in the Traditional Area.

Nab Azantilow said despite several appeals including a cold system for the Sandema Hospital, which did not run mortuary services, none of those appeals had received any “sympathetic consideration.”

“We indeed have a site for the establishment of a nursing training college, which stalled due to lack of funding. My people and I will prioritize your votes, and hope that you will take this into account, and you shall be rewarded in return,” he said.
