The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has assured the University of Business and Integrated Development Studies (UBIDS) of government support to address its infrastructure challenges, while also expressing strong backing for the institution’s bid to be accredited to run the new Bar Practice Programme for law graduates.

He said he understood that the University Council was working to position the UBIDS School of Law as one of five institutions to be accredited to run the programme, and declared his support for the university’s candidacy as the leading law school in northern Ghana.

He also disclosed that he had helped initiate a partnership between UBIDS and the Medical University of Ajman in the United Arab Emirates to support the establishment of a medical school aimed at training health personnel for the Upper West Region and beyond.
