I fully agree with you. Is Singapore doing this for free? Are we saying there are no building contractors to put up simple and common hostels? We need tangible reasons for this madness!!

What local investors did your Akuffo Addo get to do something like this in his useless 8 years in govt?
Do you know how much is involved, and do you have the funds to finance it?

Which Ghanaian investor can construct even a kiosk on hisr own ? How many times has Ghana gone to IMF for interventions even to top salaries for its workers?

@Bery I feel you 100%. Remember STX under Mills — $10B to bring in Koreans to build houses we could have built ourselves? Then boom, Airbus: second-hand planes bought at brand-new prices. Mills goes “WHAAAT? I want an investigation” — even before the international probe kicked off. Next thing, he’s in the back of a Pickup, gone.

And now? Another shady deal straight out of Singapore. Nasty man. Evil man. Smile like honey, tongue like a snake — forked, poisonous, king cobra venom. But hey, Ghanaians said this is what they want. Slogans, slogans, and more slogans. Let’s see if slogans can fill your belly after 4 years.

Those who are saying local companies have they thought wide enough? These kinds of projects with skyscrapers can not be handled by local companies . Moreover where will they get the funding for such projects ? Mahama has a short stay will not gamble his agenda into the hands of poor work culture of the Ghanaian Labour. Yes local companies will work along side .

In the era of AI we are proud to be building concretes. While others are digitizing education making it accessible to as many people as is possible, UG wants to invest in hostels. What’s wrong with us?

An Mou for them to come and build (among other things) a student hostel at Legon. We should be ashamed of ourselves. Don't we have any Ghanaian company to carry out that project? Are we so poor as a nation that we can not build the hostel by ourself? Meanwhile, we are planning to spend millions of Cedis to build a Hajj village (for pilgrims) at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra. Ghana we have a leadership problem.
