Teachers will have better condition of service under my government-Mills

Agona Nyarkrom (C/R) Sept. 11 GNA - The flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Professor John Evans Atta Mills, has assured teachers of better condition of service when voted into power as the President of the country. He said this would enable teachers to give off their best to promote education in the country towards accelerated development and social economic advancement.

Professor Mills gave the assurance at separate NDC rallies at Agona Nkum, Agona Abodom, Agona Nyarkrom and Agona Swedru on Wednesday as part of his fourth phase tour of the Central Region to canvas for votes. Prof Mills was accompanied by Mr Ato Ahwoi, former Minister of Energy, Madam Ama Benyewa Doe, National Women's Organiser of the NDC, Mr Valis Achianu, and Central Regional Chairman of the Party and some other leading members of the party.

He said under his administration teachers would be given the necessary financial assistance to further their education, and also given incentives to relief them from their present hardship. Professor Mills has therefore urged Ghanaians to vote the NPP out of power because they have mismanaged the affairs of the country. He said under his administration a vocational institute would be established at every district capital to train the youth and also establish a cottage industry, based on the available raw material, to create job avenues for the youth in the area.

Madam Benyewa Doe urged Ghanaians to vote massively for Professor Mills because he has the abilities and qualities to build a better Ghana.

Professor Mills and his entourage had earlier paid courtesy calls on chiefs and elders of the various communities he visited their palace.
