The President made the pledge at Juaboso at a durbar of the chiefs and people of the Western North Region during his Thank You Tour of the Region.

The nationwide Thank You Tour is to enable the President to express gratitude to Ghanaians for their massive support during the 2024 general election.

“And to my students from Juaboso Senior High School, when I landed with the helicopter, they were shouting at me, we want school bus, we want school bus. Juaboso Senior High, I promise you, I'll send you a school bus,” the President said.

He said the chiefs and people of the Western North were right in calling for a public university in the Western North Region.

“As you know, this is one of the newly created regions without a dedicated public university. We are discussing with the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission to situate an autonomous public university here in the Western North Region.”

This, the President said, would honour the Western North Region's identity while creating opportunities for young people.

He said in the meantime, they would upgrade selected senior high schools such as the Sefwi Wiawso SHS, the Bodi SHS, the Juabuso SHS with improved facilities and boarding infrastructure under the Free Secondary School Education Plus Policy.

The President also assured the chiefs and people of the Western North of a Regional Hospital and a Regional Sports Stadium.
