President proposes naming UDS after Former Rawlings

November 16, 2020

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has proposed naming the University for Development Studies (UDS) after the late former President Jerry John Rawlings.

He argued that late President Rawlings single handedly established UDS against all difficulties at the time.

President Akufo-Addo was speaking at the 21st congregation ceremony of UDS in Tamale yesterday.

He stated that though late former President Rawlings was not in support of naming the university after him it would be more appropriate to honour him with it.
