WOYONGO TO ESTABLISH EDUCATIONAL FUND (Daily Graphic, Friday, November 7, 2008 PAGE 15)

The National Democratic Congress (NDC), parliamentary candidate for the Navrongo Central Constituency, Mr. Mark Wayongo has said he will establish an education development fund to take care of declining standards of education in the area when elected into parliament.
He said the fund would be used to support brilliant but needy students to maintain the high standards of education that the Kassena-Nankana District is noted for.
Mr. Wayongo disclosed this when he paid a courtesy call on the Paramount Chief of Navrongo and members of the Navrongo Traditional Council. The visit was also to introduce himself to the council and inform the chiefs of his participation in the race to become the MP for the area.
He said he was deeply concern about issues militating against the development of the area, especially the falling standards of education in the Navrongo Traditional Area and said when elected, he would work closely with all stakeholders to reverse the downward trend of education.
Accompanied by Messrs Mr. Ibrahim Adam, Gilbert Iddi, Sylvester Azantilow, Donald Adabre all former ministers of state and other Regional Officers of the party, Mr. Wayongo was welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd at Kandiga Junction and ushered into the Navrongo Township where he addressed the Traditional Council and introduced himself and his vision to the people.
He said the NDC when re-elected into office would put in place more human-centered economic policies that would give relief to the poor and enable the average Ghanaian to live a decent life when voted into power.
“NDC is a party that caters for the needs of the poor, that is why when we were in power, we did so much to bridge the yawing gap between the north and the south with the extension of electric power, the creation of the University for Development Studies and the construction of the road from Kintampo in the Brong Ahafo Region to Paga in the Upper East Region.”
