He made the promise amongst other infrastructural development plans at Gambaga in the North East Region during a campaign tour in the community.
“The North Eastern Region is going to get a university campus here so that our young people who want to continue into tertiary education can do so,” he said.
He also pledged to develop sporting infrastructure with a view to developing hidden talents in the region.
According to him, not only will the North East get a stadia, but also other regions that are lacking as well.
“All the regions that don’t have sports stadiums are going to get new sports stadia. And the sports stadia will be to develop sporting talent,” Mr. Mahama added.
“So if you are an athlete, you are a footballer, you are volleyball player, the facilities will all be there, and we will spot the talents in the North East Region, take them to the national level and if they are good enough, we will take them to the international level.”
