Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, on the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha celebration, announced that the Saudi King, Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, had promised to finance the construction of a medical university in the northern part of Ghana.
Additionally, the Saudi King would provide funding for the construction of 42 Senior High Schools in Ghana.
More also, 40 students, comprising 20 males and 20 females from Zongo and deprived communities would be trained as medical doctors in Cuba following a training arrangement agreed between the Cuban government and Ghana government.
Vice President Bawumia, who announced this at the national celebration of Eid-uL-Adha at the Black Star Square in Accra on Sunday, encouraged all Muslims, especially Muslim girls to take the study of science-based courses seriously, in order to benefit from the programme.
Eid-ul- Adha is an occasion to remember the sacrifice Prophet Ibrahim made in obedience to the will of Allah and accepted to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, and was accorded the father of Monotheistic faith.
Vice President Bawumia, therefore, entreated all Muslims to learn from Prophet Ibrahim’s obedience and remained sincere towards the cause of national development.
He underscored the need for Muslims to co-exist peacefully with both Muslims and non-Muslims so that the government would have peaceful environment to continue implementing its laudable programmes and policies to better the lots of Ghanaians.
He urged them to be vigilant in their respective communities and report any suspicious characters or agent provocateurs to the security agencies, in order not to disturb the peace and tranquility prevailing in the country.
He said President Akufo-Addo’s administration was committed towards developing the Zongo Communities, hence the creation of the Ministry of Inner City and Zongo Development and Zongo Development Fund, to champion the development of Zongos and inner cities, to ensure equitable distribution of the national resources.
He lauded the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Dr Osman Nuhu Shaributu for his exemplary leadership that promoted religious tolerance across the nation thereby making Ghana an envy across the world.
Alhaji Alhassan Sulley, Chairman of the Eid Planning Committee, who read an address on behalf of Chief Imam, urged Muslims to submit themselves totally to the will of Allah by sacrificing themselves to his call as Prophet Ibrahim did.
He, thus, entreated all religious Muslim leaders to guide their congregants to observe the holy teachings of Quran to promote peace and harmony in the country.
He advised all Muslims and Ghanaians to pray for God’s guidance as the nation was heading for a national election next year, so that they would make a good choice and select a leader that would promote the wellbeing of the people to engender development.
The National Chief Imam prayed for peace of the nation and Allah’s wisdom and guidance for President Akufo-Addo, Vice President Bawumia and the entire government.
A camel donated by Vice President Bawumia was slaughtered to symbolically mark the Eid-ul-Adha celebration, which is a festival of sacrifice.

Nana addo you haven't ask him to do this. Stop this liar before he destroys your presidency.
This guy is moving from church to church all pretending to bridge the gap between Christians and moslems. His main goal is to use the same deceptive strategy he guided nana addo to use, and also become a president. He knows if he doesn't pretend to be both a Christian and moslem at the same time when he is made to lead the npp, their vote will dwindle. He is doing all this because of his parochial interest to make Ghana ISIS. He's got a minister for Islam. Ask yourself whether there is any ministry for christianity. He intentionally used the name zongo and inner city development. Do you here mustapha Hamid talking about inner city development? He is indirectly pushing his own agenda and we will resist this the same way we resisted the chamber. If you hold PhD we also hold QhD.
NPP VERY VERY VERY GOOD IN SLOGAN ISM BUT LITTLE OR NOTHING CONCRETE OF ACHIEVEMENT TO SHOW OFF. NOW, THE NEW NAME FOR AID IS REWARD. REWARD FROM SAUDI KING FOR WHAT. GHANAIANS ARE NOT ***barred word***. 3 YEARS INTO YOUR GOVERNMENT. NOT EVEN ONE SECONDARY SCHOOL WAS BUILT OUT OF THE 300 WHICH NAADA PROMISED DURING THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN.

Watch out - this is BLOOD MONEY. Remember the Saudi journalist who was murdered and dismembered in the Saudi Embassy in Turkey? Ghana is not a Muslim state. Let him keep his money.
Please let the Saudis keep their Money and Aid. And rather Comb their Kingdom to find all Blacks who are being enslaved or Trap in that Country. That will be the bast than AID. Human life is more precious and important than Propaganda Infrastructure Thank you.
EI, so sammy awuku and co are sitting down for barwumia to push this agenda. If you people allow barwumia to carry out this agenda, after him leading npp, the next person will be her wife. Very soon the party will be run from the tradition of barwumia. See how he has forced the party to give him minister of state at the office of the president. If as a vice president he is already having minster in his office, what do you think will happen if such a person is the leader of the party. Her wife will also have a minister in her office.
Nana addo and barwumia will go down as the use.less and ediotic leaders Ghana has ever witnessed. So with all the promises and assurances that Ghana had a lot of resources but mismanagement was our problem, they were lying to us? We have the men, we have the men, it was all lies? Now, it has come to turning on al Qaeda for financial support to build infrastructure for Ghana? I am sure all Ghanaians are now wide awake. This men have deceived us big time. By the way, you can easily see through what barwumia is doing that he is subtly trying to turn the nation into Islamic state. Thank God even if nana addo should die today, the akans will never allow tanyi to be his successor. Alan is tight there. If npp does not take care and barwumia becomes their leader that is the end of the party, because majority of Ghanaians are not going to vote for them simply because barwumia's Islamic agenda.
