Ho, July 23, GNA – The Management of the University of Health and Allied Sciences UHAS has said that the Chinese funded US$60 Million Phase two of its projects was a new grant engineered under the government of President Akufo-Addo.

The concept notes of Phase two was approved in 2019 and sod was cut for the project in 2021 by President Akufo-Addo, which had been completed and ready for commissioning on July 29, this year.

The Management has, therefore, discounted claims that funding for the Phase two projects were secured under the erstwhile late President John Evans Atta Mills regime, explaining that cost for the inception works was US$20 Million.

Professor Lydia Aziato, Vice Chancellor of UHAS, in an exclusive interview with the Ghana News Agency, said the communication to honour the President had received some backlash with inaccurate presentations in the public and deemed it important to douse these inaccuracies.

Meanwhile, the youth wing of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and a youth group calling itself Concerned Youth of Volta, have called on UHAS Council and Management to discard plans to decorate President Akufo-Addo with an Honorary doctorate degree.
