Gonjaland Youth Association Expresses Gratitude to President Mahama on Savannah College of Education Absorption

The Gonjaland Youth Association has commended President John Dramani Mahama and Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, Minister of Education, for their roles in absorbing the Savannah College of Education into the public colleges of education system.

In a statement, the Association expressed its deepest gratitude to President Mahama for his prompt action in responding to the needs of the people in the Savannah Region. They also praised Hon. Haruna Iddrisu Education Minister for his swift attention, which led to the College’s immediate absorption.

The Association noted that this milestone will enhance access to quality education in the region, as the Savannah College of Education is the first College of Education in the Savannah Region.

The Gonjaland Youth Association also thanked Prof. Ahmed Jinapor, Director-General of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), and the staff of the Commission for their support. Additionally, they acknowledged the contributions of the Acting Principal of the College, Dr. Musah Ekpampo, and the King and Overlord of the Gonja Kingdom, Yagbonwura Biikunuto Jewu Soale I.

This development is a significant achievement for the people of the Savannah Region and is expected to have a positive impact on education in the area.

It can be recalled that on Tuesday 4th March 2025, students of the Savannah College of Education locked up their lecture halls and boycotted all academic activities, vowing to confront any lecturer who attempted to enter the school over the delisting of the college from the list of public schools.

The students matched to the Wasipewura where they laid their concerns before the chief who promised to intervene.
