There will be free University Education if I become President – Dr. Yaw Adutwum

Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, a prominent figure in Ghana’s education sector and a New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, has pledged to introduce free university education should he be elected President of the Republic of Ghana.

Speaking during an appearance on The Digest on Kessben TV, Dr. Adutwum emphasized his commitment to expanding access to tertiary education as part of his broader vision to transform Ghana’s human capital development.

According to him, removing the financial barriers to university education will ensure that every Ghanaian youth has the opportunity to pursue higher learning regardless of their economic background.

“There would be free university education if I become a president,” Dr. Adutwum declared confidently, highlighting the potential of education to drive socio-economic development and national progress.
