The Volta Region New Patriotic Party (NPP) has debunked claims by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that President Akufo-Addo does not deserve to be honoured by the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS).

According to the Volta Regional NPP Chairman, Makafui Woanya the Akufo-Addo-led-government’s contribution to the development of the University outweighs that of the NDC.

Addressing the media in Ho, he said President Akufo-Addo indeed merits the proposed honorary doctorate, taking into consideration his efforts to enhance the country’s education sector, among others.

The late President John Evans Atta Mills of the NDC proposed and established the UHAS, which was subsequently established in 2011 and began full operations in September 2012.
