The Vice-Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress NDC, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has challenged the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to disclose the number of Senior High School blocks they’ve built since January 2017 when President Akufo Addo assumed office.

Speaking in Nzezera in the Dorma West Constituency of the Bono Region, Prof Nana Opoku-Agyemang who also served as Minister of Education during the John Mahama administration noted that the NDC’s track record on education infrastructure was transparent.

“We promised 200 senior high school blocks; while we didn’t complete all, our achievements are visible,” she stated.

“The NPP promised to build 350 new senior high schools. We want to know how many they’ve delivered.” she quizzed

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang maintained that the NPP’s performance on education infrastructure remains unclear.

She has therefore urged the people of Dorma West to vote against the NPP government due to its poor performance.

The NDC has always insisted the John Mahama-led administration completed 46 E-Block projects, as documented in the Education Ministry’s handing-over note in 2016.

The NDC E-block record is particularly notable given the NPP’s criticism of the Mahama government for allegedly failing to deliver on the 200-school promise.
