Incumbent President Dr Irfaan Ali has announced that the next People’s Progressive Party/Civic Government will establish a University of Guyana (UG) Faculty of Engineering at Leonora, West Coast Demerara.
“Today, some young kids came to me and they said we applied to do civil engineering at the University of Guyana, but they were told that they are out of seats… I said nonsense! We will build the seats in the TVET Centre at Leonora, and give you a Faculty of Engineering right here,” Ali told residents of Region Three this evening.
He was at the time addressing supporters at a massive PPP/C Elections Rally held at Stewartville, WCD.
According to Ali, who is seeking a second term in office at the upcoming September 1 elections, “No longer must ‘no’ be the answer for the children of our country. We will break every barrier to give them the opportunity they want [so that] they can be the best they want to be.”
This announcement comes on the heels of the incumbent leader recently revealing plans to establish a UG Medical College at the newly commissioned Tuschen Secondary School.
“No one will tell you that there are not enough seats at the University. We will invest in those seats so your children will be the doctors, the lab technicians, the dental technicians, the biochemists – whatever they want to do, they can do right here in Region Three,” Ali declared at tonight’s rally.
