There was a rumour that there was a lake nearby. Not true?
It's true. They need to get water from the lake. Were the staff not budgeted for? How come they can't be paid?
WHAT A HOPELESS SYSTEM.

That is the result of when you run a country on lies and propaganda. This must be a lesson to Voltarians. These visionless guys have collapsed the economy by their reckless and brainless economic policies, period!.
Ghana is indeed sinking fast under this NDC gov't led by John Mahama. Is this the better Ghana agenda? Where is the e de bee k3k3 in this messy state of affairs? Where is the quality education the NDC promised Ghanaians? Is i ...

IS PROF SAYING THE TRUTH? WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO CLAIMED ALL IS WELL BY SHOUTING EI DEY BEE? THEY SHOULD COME TO THE ASSISTANCE OF THE UNIV.
NDC MUST FULFILL THE EI DEY BEE PROMISE
First things first. And that is to at long last stop taking those telling the truth as 'enemies'.
"Why does the Blackman ALWAYS BEHAVE as if the paper degrees were ALL bought and NEVER REALLY EARNED ??".
GOOD QUESTION.
THE PAPER PROFESSOR HEADING THE SCHOOL SCHOOL COME OUT AND ANSWER.
It was obvious that the government of Ghana was never ready with the necessary resources to start this university. Because of elections and politics, they started with only promises in hand. Couldn't all the judgment debts pa ...

Fiifi Kwetey, Togbe Afede, Woyome, Rawlings and all the ewe thieves go save your kings folk. You LAZY ewes have been a HUGE DRAIN on Ghana since Kwame Nkrumah made the fatal mistake of allowing ewes to join Ghana.
Voltarian chiefs should rush to Woyome for a loan! He is their favorite son!
Just like Amoateng is your favorite son.
Why should the University supply water for the contractors? Is it not part of their contractual responsibility to supply water for their own work?
WHY IS MAHAMA & NDC DECEIVING GHANA? TAXES, FUEL AND MOST UTILITY SERVICES HAVE BEEN INCREASED ABOUT 100% SINCE (2009), MILLS & MAHAMA. GHANA IS NOW AN OIL PRODUCING COUNTRY - GHANA STILL HAS GOLD AND OTHER MINERALS YET GHANA ...
