A Member of the Education Committee of Ghana’s Parliament, Dr. Clement Apaak has reacted to the calls for a seed Capital by Senior Staff of SDD-UBIDS in Wa.

During a Graduation Ceremony of The University held on the 3rd of November 2023, Prof. Philip Duku Osei Appealed for a seed Capital from Government in form of Cash to keep the University Running smoothly. But Dr. Apaak Is Pessimistic the Development is not limited to SDD-UBIDS.

Statement

I’m surprised to learn that the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia gov’t is yet to release seed money to the Simon Diedong Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies (SDD-UBIDS).

When we passed the law to carve out the CK Tedam and SD Dombo Universities from UDS in the 7th Parliament, the issues of seed money were agreed upon. Gov’t’s failure to honour its responsibility has compelled the management of SD Dombo University to appeal for the release of seed money to enhance its operations.

While I’m yet to check with other such new tertiary institutions, I’m pretty sure the situation will likely be the same for CK Tedam University.

Why has the seed money not been paid? Where is the seed money? We will demand answers and advocate for the right thing to be done. I will surely take this up.

In Solidarity,
Dr. Clement Apaak
MP/PC Builsa South and Deputy Ranking Member On Education Committee of Parliament
