This is a highest Honour done to JJ
Rawlings for others to emulate.
Can't this Govt do something new?
There is something wrong with Govt.
You are a fool, the article is talking about JJ and not Mahama dam fool
Bust, ok. Honorary doctorate, ok. Renaming? premature!!!One of our problems is talking too much, acting too emotionally and being less strategic in our approach to life and issues!!!
Why should the national/public university university be named after a murderer? Was the school funded from his pocket or by funds from the nation's coffers? Ghanaians must stop from worshiping people. If that is the case let ...

Start naming the furniture, green grass(if there's any), school buses(if there's any) after Rawlings. And when he dies then you name the whole Tamale township together with the UDS after him. Oko Vanderpuye is good at this. C ...

Renaming a university after a murderer? We are really doomed. I pray my sister graduates before they call that school Jerry Rawlings University. This is a bad example for future generations. We are telling our children that i ...

Don't make that mistake.
Naming UDS after Rawlings is not enough. I suggest the panel should name Ghana after him. The Republic of Rawlings is what will be befitting for this Royal Highness...
No, it is a very bad idea. Rawlings is a coup maker, a systematic human rights violator, he sent the thousands into exile.
Please Professors Haruna Yakubu, Zakariya, Abdula Salifu and co think and act as men of thought and ...

As soon as the Progress Party comes back to power we will abolish ALL the fake names now being given to undeserved people.

Renaming USD after Rawlings will not do anything. Better rename your fathers, mothers and villages including your dogs after the monster killer national wrecker Rawlings.
Mmoooooaah! pepefour!!!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????/
Name the Cardiothoracic Centre after Frimpong Boateng. It is not only politicians who need to be recognized not especially those who come to power illegally.
The fact that the university was established under the government of JJ does not mean he deserves to have the university named after him.
For being the 2nd president who never opened any university let name k-poly after him
If we are to rename all the stadia and high school built by Kufour after him, do you know how many he will get? What has John Mills and Mahama built?
What is stadium? we need cleanliness and knowledge to innovate. you can play soccer anywhere and still get the benefits.
We are growing as a nation. Baako too agreed to honor Jerry? We are making progress. I John Kuffour will equally agree
if we keep on renaming our institutions it will never help us
OH YES I SO MUCH AGREE WITH THIS PROPOSAL AND THIS SHD BE DONE IN HIS LIFE TIME NOT WHEN HE PASSED ON AND THAT HONOUR WILL MEAN NOTHING TO HIS DEAD CARCASS. WE HV TO CELEBRATE SUCH SELFLESSNESS DISPLAYED AT THAT TIME WHEN THI ...

This mad man and crazy bozo destroyed Education in Ghana and it will be a gross mistake to name any educational institution after him.

Mr Gyamfi can think what ever he want. but, there is no denying fact that it was President Rawlings who created the Job for him. He could have been unemployed if Rawlings was that greedy. Rawlings is selfless and courageous. ...

Mohammed, Flt Lt Rawlings is NOT courageous. Ask Cpl Mathew Adabuga of One Recce, the soldier who picked up Rawlings drove him to GBC to read the speech that was written for the 1981 coup. The courageous Adabuga from Navro ...

Ghanaians have very short memories. That's part of the problems we're facing today.
The day coup was announced, Adabuga was in Navrongo for holidays. He only got back to Accra when it was announced over the air that, all service men on vacation should report back to duty. He was not in Accra when the coup ...

Every single book, news reports on the coup and personal interviews shows it was Cpl Adabuga, Brimmah, Giwa and co who staged the coup with Rawlings. Go read the Truth Commission report. The master coup strategist was Sgt Ak ...

When J.J did his coup, he was arrested and to be executed by firing squad when Boakye Djan, Akatapore and their men broke the Ussher Fort to free him. Had it not been these guys the coward J.J would have been executed.

Rawlings closed down universities in Ghana in 1981-82, one whole year. His thugs raided the Legon campus raped students, beat up males, and stole belongings of students. In fact, his thugs occupied the campus!
If it's OK go ahead and renamed. Why should he pass on before we honor him? This type of mentality should be discouraged. If the person deserves it why not now, so that he'll at least fell happy about his contributions toward ...

Well done Ghana Black Stars, but we really have to do something about our defence before Brazil 2014. Our defence looks very shaky and will easily crumble against some teams at the world cup. The young boy who played the righ ...

KWASEA!WHAT DO YOU SMOKE?
They can name the Volta Region and even Oman Ghana after this bastard but it won't change anything. He will always be remembered as the nation's second wicked dictator who killed innocent Judges.
Please we should not go there! We should not name a university or for that matter any thing after a living being. Ghana, concentrate on important issues
Naming one of the nation's top universities after a clever thief and murderer? Think again, that would be a sad mistake.
OK bring it on! Let's name the Dansoman Estate after Gen IK Acheampong. The Ahinsa and Buokrom and Pankrono Estates. The Labone Estates and all the ones across the nation that the good Gen. built. Let's also name the IPS in A ...

it is a bad idea to name the school after any military government leader.military rules have not done anything good to the country and her people
Mr. D. C. Gyimah denied Mr. Rawlings the award in 2005, fine what prevented Mr. Atta Mills from awarding Rawlings for the past 4 years?
Gyimah will be called a traitor by the NPP hawks if he comes forward with the truth. Everyone knows the source of the directive. Leave the poor man alone, he has already suffered enough. Don't destroy his chances, maybe when ...

Do you think that the greedy thief, Ali Baba Bokasa Kronfuor Kufuor would donate his $50,000 dollars award for development in any of our sectors as J.J Rawlings did for UDS? The answer is a big NO. Instead, the thief, Kufuor ...
