Update on the Establishment of the Western North University
We are pleased to share Update No. 3 regarding the outcome of the recent Stakeholders Consultation Meeting. Following concerns over the initial exclusion of the Western North Region from the new university initiative, swift action by the Regional Minister and key leaders has secured assurance that our region will indeed benefit from this vital infrastructure.
A comprehensive proposal is now being drafted based on the diverse views gathered from traditional authorities, MPs, MMDCEs, and youth groups.
Key Takeaways:
• The Regional Minister will coordinate the final representative proposal to be submitted to the committee.
• We express sincere gratitude to H.E. John Dramani Mahama and all regional stakeholders for their tireless efforts.
• WENDA remains committed to collaborating with all agencies to advocate for the development of our region.
Let us continue to engage in constructive dialogue as we work together to see the Western North Region transformed.
