I’ll repay ‘voter loan’ with devt - President assures Volta Region

President Mahama announced that Cabinet had approved a $300 million World Bank facility to eliminate the double-track system by constructing new secondary schools and expanding existing ones.

The President inspected the new laboratory complex at the University of Health and Allied Sciences, noting that the project initiated during his previous administration had now progressed beyond 70 per cent completion.

Addressing a packed auditorium of chiefs, opinion leaders, students and members of the public, the President described the 90 per cent votes received from the region as a "loan" which his administration was now repaying through strategic investments in infrastructure, education, health and industry.
