  That is the people my beloved Ghanaians needed. Professor may almighty God bless you. I don't like politics. But this is the only man who can let me vote if he contested as president.

  Yes,Prof Frimpong is right in the sense that,in Germany where VW, BMW and Benzs are manufactured,every component of the vehicles have its own depatment,what they call abteilung,comprising of specialists,ie,engineers technicians, artisans like paintersand upholsters, etc who manufacture those components for its manufacturing center.but the major parts like engines are bought from other companies whose duty it is to build engines suitable for cars and things like that.Ghana has a long way to go with respect to automobile industry,,but we are not too late.Leaders of this country with the news media asigned to the governing party should stop bagaining cheap popularity of embarking on putting up bridges with under passes at unnecessary points ostensibly to score political points to win the next election.The last NDC Government thought of giving contracts to foreign companies with probably 20 per cent inflated cost to pay to the sitting president and his cohorts for their private interest, which is too bad for our Nation.

  Have Ghana need is association or union among our scientists,innovators and inventors like what musicians,roads and building contractors have.The US has NASA and they work with private and individual popular inventors call mad scientists and support them too and also their defence work with NASA and private and individual inventors.I think partnership should be the main talk.

  We need to take a hard look of our nation's educational system. We've got to emphasize STEMIC - Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Innovations, & Communications.

  We need to take a hard look of our nation's educational system. We've got to emphasize STEMIC - Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Innovations, & Communications.
  
  Whilst the rest of world are learning cloud computing we are still debating the pros
  & cons technical universities.

  OPAYIN MEDICAL DOCTOR FRIMPONG-BOATENG,
  
  ALTHOUGH SCIENCETISTS, TECHNOLOGISTS AND ENGINEERS ARE NEEDED TO BOOST THE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN A COUNTRY, BUT, IT WILL BE LESS EFFECIVE,WHEN A NATION D NOT HAVE MIDDLE LEVEL PROFESSIONAL SKILLS, ARTISANS AND TECHNICIANS, QUALITY SKILLED WORFORCE TO TURN THE WHEELS OF INDUSTRIALIZAZION AND TO STIMUALE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, INCOME, COSUMER SPENDING AND QUALITY O LIFE IN GHANA.
  
  WHERE DO WE FIND HIGHLY DEVELOPED VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  WITHOUT A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE PRIMITIVE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM THAT PRODUCES ONLY GRADUATE ENGINEERS FOR NON PRODUCTIVE WORK, IT WILL BE HARD FOR THE NATION TO CREATE MIDDLE LEVEL INDUSTRIES, MANUFACTURERING FIRMS AND PROCESSING PLANTS AND FOR THEM TO SUPPLY THE NECESARY MACHINE PARTS AND ACCESSOERIES FOR INDUSTRIAL PROMOTION IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  GHANA IS ECONOMIC BACKWARD, UNDERDEVELOPED AND EXTREME POOR BECAUSE,GRADUATES PRODUCED AT THE THREE PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES, DO NOT HAVE THE TECHNOLOGICAL, INNOVATIVE SKILLS AND TECHNICAL KNOW-HOE TO PROPL GROWTH IN THRE COUNTRY.
  
  WHEN YOU LOOK TO THE DEGREES AND PHD TITLES OF MINISTERS APPOINTED IN KUFFOUR, MILLS,MAHAMA AND THOSE NOMINATED BY AKUFFO ADDO, YOU NEED TO QUESTION YOURESLF, WHAT HAVE BEEN THE CONTRIBUTION OF ALL THESE FOLKS TOWARDS THE CONOMIC GROWTH IN GHANA.
  
  NOTHING BUT NOTHING.
  
  ARE YOU THERE,IF WE WERE NOT HAVE THE HARDWORKING ILLITERATE COCOA FARMERS ON NTHEIR EFFORTS AND SWEAT THE COUNTRY EARNS ITS FOREIGN CURRENCY TO SERVICE NATIONA BUDGETS, WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE DESTINY OF GHANA.
  
  IT IS INDEED SAD AND PATHETIC FOR THE NOISY EDUCATED TO CONTINUE TO UNDERDEVELOP THE NATION, GHANA.
