Drop The One Student One Laptop Policy And Build Hostels - AKIOLA AZIZ appeals to University Management.


​

The Prospective Communications Team Member of the Oppossition National Democratic Congress, Greater Accra Region and a student of the Premier University of Ghana, Aki-Ola Aziz had suggested to the Vice-Chancellor of the University Of Ghana to invest the money to purchase laptops for each student dubbed, "Operation 1 Student 1 Laptop to build halls of residence and hostels on campus. 

He opined that investing in the construction of halls and hostels will yield more dividends for the institution because entirely every student owns an electronic gadget be it a laptop, tablet, iPad or mobile phone. He considers the halls as a priority that should not be sacrificed for laptops. 

The Vice-Chancellor, during her swearing-in ceremony, borrowed this from the government which suggested procuring Laptops for tertiary students which is yet to see its implementation. 

The students have not received their share of the laptops as 350,000 basic school teachers are battling with theirs. 

The controversies generated by the procured laptops cannot be underestimated. Majority of those teachers concerned had condemned and descrinbed the Laptops as inferior and not up to standard. They had also sensed procurement breaches, and acussed the government of Ghana, GNAT, NAGRAT and CCT as the architect behind this dubious or shady deal.

"I urge the Vice Chancellor and the University Council to consider building hostels and not buying laptops in the short term",  He urged.

The Oracle Writes... Part 1

NIGERIANS VOTED FOR CHANGE BUT DISUNITY DENIED THEM - A LESSON NDC MUST LEARN The outcome of Nigeria's election clearly shows that Nigerians yearned for change, desired change and voted massively for change but greed rubbed them of that needed change. The outcome of the election tells us how disunity resulting from lack of internal democracy has gifted the ruling APC 'cheap' victory at the expense of suffering Nigerians. The APC was clearly not the choice of Nigerians but they have to live under its rulership again for another 4 agonizing years. Painful! It was long forecasted that the APC had lost the trust of Nigerians and all that was needed was an opportunity to vote them out. They youth of Nigeria were battled ready to kick out the APC government and they voted exactly for that change. Even in Northern Nigeria where it was believed was APC's "world bank", votes from that part of the Country showed that the people were no longer tied to blind and unp...

AN OPEN LETTER TO KOKU ANYIDOHO

Good-day! Anyidoho, Koku I communicate to you to halt your open and bitter resentment towards the gentle and affable persona and former first gentleman of the land, John Dramani Mahama. You claim to be an ardent and proponent of social democracy and associate of tge left-wing reactionary socialist ideology. We admonished your selfless service to the office of the former President, the late H.E John Evans Atta Mills as the Director of Communications, and your subsequent election as the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress. This could have prefrerably shaped you and made you the General Secretary of the NDC. You fought well in the contest between you and the National Chairman of the party. The previous elections would have forsaw your leadership as General Secretary. You remember when the NPP, through their surrogates arrested you and put in the CID cells. He was the one who came and granted you bail and walked with you as triumph victory over them; your pur...

If you die for the party, the party will die for you _ John Dramani Mahama

His Excellency John Mahama His Excellency John Mahama, the former President of the Republic had declared that whoever works for the National Democratic Congress to win future elections would be equally  awarded. He had lamented that when you die for the NDC, the NDC will die for you. This message had gone down with the rank and file of the party; the party foot soldiers who were in higher or greater anticipation to hear this. Mr. Mahama, we believe has turned the table round and diverted attention to serve party faithfuls and sympathizers first before any other interest. We believe is a step in the right direction and the best approach which will go down well with the good citizens of the country looking at what the New Patrotic Party is doing when it comes to recruitment, employment and contracts and many more. They award base on partisan interest and not on merit. The NDC will award base on loyalty and hardwork and on merit unlike others are awarding. It seems the father for all ...
