In no time, the batons of TTAG- EGA Sector leadership will be left behind for new crop of leaders to take over.

Mr. Issah Toha Shamsoo (TTAG National Secretary Hopeful)
traineesdailyinfo.data.blog have gathered verifiable intelligence which indicates that Mr. Atagabe Blastus, Attricons sector president have declared his intention to contest for the post of TTAG National Public Relations Manager in this year upcoming congress at St. Francis College of Education in the Volta region.
Mr. Atagabe Blastus Attricons President
Brief info about Mr. Atagabe Blastus
Mr. Atagabe Blastus is the current Attricons sector president. He served as Attricons sector vice president before his election. He is from Navrongo in the Upper East region. He completed St. John Bosco College of Education were he served as the SRC President for 2017/2018 academic year.
It will be recalled that an open letter was written to Hon. Dr. Sagre Bambangi who doubles as the MP for Walewale constituency and also the Deputy Minister of Agriculture incharge of annual crops on the 21st of August, 2019.
The said letter was written by myself a constituent of the same Constituency drawing the honourable MP’s attention to issues of concern. I raised two principal issues in the letter, firstly, the deplorable state of Walewale municipal library complex and secondly, the abandoned Astro Turf in Walewale.
Incidentally, I met my MP Hon. Dr. Sagre Bambangi at Parliament citizens engagement dialogue in Tamale organised by African Center for Parliamentary Affairs in collaboration with Norsaac at John Agama conference hall, GILLBT just few hours after the said letter was published online. This citizens engagement dialogue was a forum for citizens to interact with their MP’s. I thought this was an ideal platform and the right time for me to relay my letter directly to my honourable MP since we were discussing education of which easy access to library services is a key component.
Before I go into the details of my interaction with my MP at the said occasion, I must reiterate that, my meeting with him was coincidental. I never knew he was coming for the dialogue. I got the opportunity to attend the dialogue simply because I was chosen as a rep for Northern Youth Parliament. I went in company with other honourable members from the house.
When it was time for open forum session, I gladly raised my hand severally with the hope that given the opportunity, I will let my MP know I wrote him letter which I would humbly wish to get his response.
After several attempts, I couldn’t catch the attention of the MC so I wasn’t picked. I wasn’t discouraged anyway because I was determined to speak to my member of parliament. Luckily, in my next attempt I was given the chance to speak in the presence of my MP and other members of the education select committee of Ghana’s Parliament as well all participants of the conference.
This is a moment I will not forget, I rose from my sit filled with that vigor and enthusiasm to speak truth to power and with the firm belief that things will change for the better.
After extending greetings and acknowledging protocols of the house. I said, “I’m very glad to be given this singular opportunity because due to the fact that I couldn’t meet my MP and speak to him face to face like I’m doing right now, I had to write him a letter. My MP is Hon. Dr. Sagre Bambangi MP for Walewale.”
Inside the hall was very quiet and I could feel everyone was attentive. At that point, I began to encourage myself to stay focused despite the tension that was building up in me. I calmed myself down and continued with my speech.
I told him and everyone who was in the John Agama conference hall at that time, how deplorable and poor Walewale library complex is and how it needs immediate attention at in order serve the reading needs of Walewale and it’s environs.
MP’s Response And Assurances
After my submission, Hon. Dr. Sagre Bambangi was given the some time to respond to my claims. In his initial comments, he alluded to the fact that the library was in tatters because he visited the library on some few occasions and it needed to be addressed immediately. He said that, the library complex is currently managed by the municipal assembly but it seems the assembly is not paying much attention to its progress.
He informed myself and everyone that an agency under the ministry of communications have expressed interest in renovating the library to include an ICT center. He expressed hope that talks will be finalized as soon as possible so that work can begin in earnest to bring back the library complex to it’s former glory.
He ended his response urging myself and colleague young people to imbibe in ourselves the attitude of reading because its benefits.
Personally, I was not satisfied and convinced with his response because I believe that something can be done right now to help the situation as we wait for the finalisation of the agreement with that agency. For example, textbooks and shelves can be acquired for use in the library for the meantime.
To conclude, I will therefore plead on Hon. MP and other stakeholders to make education a priority particularly reading. And also look seriously into the issues I pointed out in my yesterday letter to him.
Mr. Senyo Hosi CEO of Ghana Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors
Before I let you know my stance on the ongoing controversy regarding statements made by Senyo Hosi about UG, let me first acknowledge the opinions of others who have made cogent points to succinctly explain their views. Just as they say, opinions are like noses and everyone has one. So I’m not exempted.
I watched his lamentations in video on Citi TV and became pissed off at once. I was irritated simply because I felt Senyo Hosi disregarded and disrespected the distinguished panelists, participants and the entire university community. Due to my temper, I must admit, I lost the message he was carrying across in the process.
One thing I kept me wondering was, why he decided to acquire three (3) different degrees from the same university he knew was having a problem and was churning out low quality products. I pondered over this and that pushed me to calmly and attentively watch the video once again in order to pick the message he was putting forward regardless of my earlier prejudices and emotions.
After keenly watching the video, It revealed to me that, I have placed too much emphasis on the messenger and how the message was delivered rather than the message. Which should have been my prime focus initially.
The shortfalls within our educational system identified and expressed with excess emotions by Senyo Hosi are not only attributable to UG but rather to all Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges and even senior high schools.
To why he chose UG for his several degrees, I feel he didn’t find any ‘better’ alternative in Ghana in his examination. You may also draw a different conclusion though.
I strongly believe he erred in his approach and also used a wrong platform to express his dissatisfaction with our educational system. But his message remain apt and clear. Let’s accept it and work on it.
The technocrats, government, University management and all of us should join hands to find better alternatives on how we refine our educational system which is in a mess now.
We must admit that in Ghana, Ph.d engineers needs roadside vulganizers to check on his/her car engine whenever there’s an issue with it. It is also true that the affluent in the society fly out of the country to seek proper medical care.
As we condemn him for his approach and use of harsh words, let’s try not to gloss over his message to us.
To end with, let me bring to your attention that some teacher trainee’s in the colleges were withdrawn for the reason that they failed a DAGBANI paper. Yes were withdrawn. Meanwhile, they weren’t from North neither were they even going to teach Dagbani after their completion. Those trainees were simply denied the opportunity of being teachers due to our system.
I also believe his ‘rant’ is a call to action. To awaken us to accept the reality.
