The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has promised to provide free tertiary education to all persons with disabilities who make it to universities in Ghana.
He made this known during an interaction with the clergy in the Western North Region as part of his ongoing nationwide tour.
According to Dr. Bawumia, even though scholarships are meant to be given to all kinds of people, his government will prioritise scholarships for people with disabilities.
The NPP flagbearer noted that the scholarship will cover both academic and residential fees for all persons with disabilities starting in 2025.
“I am very clear on the way forward. I believe that for people with disabilities, we are going to support them a bit more. We are giving scholarships to every person, but I am going to dedicate some of the monies to our scholarship secretariat and the GET Fund to provide free tertiary education—both tuition and accommodation—to every person with a disability who makes it into the university so they can all benefit,” he stated.
