Chief of Abirem and Gyaasehene of the Kotoku Paramountcy, Nana Obrempong Akwasi Amo Tweretwie, has called on Vice President H. E. Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to consider the establishment of an agricultural university in the Abirem constituency.
The Chief made the remarks at the newly constructed New Abirem Durbar grounds on Wednesday, August 21, during Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s stakeholder engagement with the various religious organisations in Birim North.
“Mr. Vice President, this is one of our topmost priorities. Please help establish an Agricultural University in Abirem. We’re optimistic that, when the University is established, all other portfolios such as mining and and engineering can be added to it.
Dr. Frimpong Manso commends you, he says do not be afraid, you’re going to win. Your free SHS has been very monumental and an effective game changer in our Ghanaian Politics”, he stated
Obrempong used the opportunity and pleaded on Dr. Bawumia to grant the Birim North District a Municipal status as early as possible.
“When it comes to Internal Revenue Generation, Birim North District contends with Metropolitans not even Municipal, we’re doing well but our challenge is the District status, once you’re here, we’re calling on you to help grant us Municipal status”, he added.
The Abirem Government Hospital was also a top priority, where Obrempong asked Dr. Bawumia to assist in the expansion of the facility which serves most Districts in the area.
