A Ghanaian Professor at the American University, Mr. Kwaku Nuamah has said promises made by the President-elect Nana Akufo-Addo were meant to convince the youth to vote him and his party into power.
The one-district-one-factory, one-dam-one village, restoration of teacher and nursing trainee allowances and the restoration of the NHIS were a few of the many pledges made by the NPP Flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during his campaign in the run-up to the December 7 polls.
In an interview with VOA Africa, Prof. Kwaku Nuamah described the promises as economically insensible, adding that it would be difficult for the President-elect Nana Akufo-Addo to fulfil the majority of the promises contained in the party’s manifesto.
"We are going to see if he will deliver some of the promises he made, they really don’t make economic sense; I don’t think that every district in Ghana needs a factory."
Touching on the possible reasons for President Mahama’s massive defeat in the elections, he indicated that mismanagement of state resources resulting in a rise in debt to the GDP ratio during his term in office could have led to the fall.
“There has been a borrowing bench that has affected the interest rate in the country and confidence in businesses,’’ he explained.
Professor Kwaku Nuamah also associated the high rate of unemployment and the consistent energy crisis the country was plunged into under the Mahama-led administration to the party’s loss in the general polls.

He doubt the success of his life and his mother nation Ghana, that is why he want to die in America. He should come down to build the nation and stop myopic thinking. who should build America for you to go and enjoy. Myopic Prof Nuamah, come to HOME LAND GHANA.
A Professor thinking like a street boy. I think your faithless and doubtful comments about the vision and promises of the President-elect is rather senseless. He is yet to take his seat as President. Is it mere envy or what? This world! He will put you to shame.
TYPICAL BLACK MAN. ALWAYS WANT TO BRING SOMEONE DOWN. PROF OR WHATEVER THEY CALL YOU, IM ASHAME YOU ARE TALKING LIKE THAT. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. ENEMY OF PROGRESS. H.E. NANA ADDO WILL DO ALL THIS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGHTEN HIM. IN JESUS NAME. BAD CITIZEN.SHAME
@big boye you call this professor a learned person? waow!! I wonder your own level of education and intelligence
if you believe he can do it why bring the name of Jesus. China did it without Jesus Christ. instead of listening to what the learned person is saying, you sit behind your phone/pc and spew rubbish, meanwhile you can even boast of a degree from zenith college (bottom tie university in Ghana) And to the NPP people, listen to criticism like this and work around them.. too known make monkey fall down. if you dont know ask Onaapo mahama. we the independent voters told him, hi did not listen.
Do you say this man lives in the u.s.a the land of opportunities? Really? and he doesn't think a Ghanaian leader could do better to move this country forward? But he believes China was built on industrialisation starting from small factories in their homes to be an economic giant in the world? You see such and ***barred word*** and jealous people who think they should be the one to dictate to the nation because he is a professor in the u.s.a is appalling. Look don't trust everyone living in the u.s.a as being successful,we live hear and know some of them to be nothing,America doesn't dwell on professors to build their country and these people some of them think Ghana is still in the black age where elites were feared and taking as always right. He should go and say that to the Marines. These people would have challenged Nkrumah about his vision for the country if he was a grown up. If Osagyefo was able to build over 100 factories in Ghana from 1060-1966 how can't Nana and the NPP do that? If he was American before America was built he would disagree with their visions, if he was American during John F Kennedy ' s time he would refute his America will GO to the moon vision. Somebody tell Kwaku Nuamah if he is jealous of Nana then he can go burn the sea,if he has any presidential ambition hence this garbage then he should forget about it because he is visionless. That can not do spirit must not be entertained.I believe in the NPP that they can do it. Kwaku Nuamah can't use the NPP to sell himself,he should give us a break! Why didn't he advise the ndc if he has a dream? Nation wreckers.
pull him down (phd)people have just started again, why can't you wait for him to settle before commenting about the promises, he is not like you ndc who promised one time premium of NHIS but failed to your promise. All the promises made by Nana will come to pass in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
a good one there.
NDC Professor Kwaku Nuamah who has no hope in Nana's vision. WAIT & SEE. He was happy his part THIEFS were CREATING, LOOOOOOTING & SHARING! SHAME!
