Odeifuo Korankye bewailed the poor performance of students in the locality who wrote the 2010 Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE), and was hopeful that the establishment of the university would motivate the young ones in the community to aspire to greater heights.
Touching on issues relating to chieftaincy and land disputes in the country, Odeifuo Korankye II noted that issues regarding lands and chieftaincy should not be encouraged in the country since they have the tendency of causing disuniting the community.
He also took the opportunity to call on the local government to engage traditional leaders in the allocation of districts to avoid the problem of land disputes.
