Former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has expressed skepticism regarding former President John Dramani Mahama's plan to rename public universities upon assuming office in 2025.

Anyidoho questioned Mahama's emphasis on renaming institutions, asserting that the focus should be on job creation and advancing a better Ghana agenda during his potential presidency.

During a discussion on Peace FM, Anyidoho remarked, "How does that solve graduate unemployment? Changing names is normal; the question is, what impact does renaming have, and we are using it as a tool for political mediocrity."

He continued to emphasize that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) should concentrate on persuading the public to garner votes for the party.Anyidoho expressed frustration at the opposition allowing the ruling party to set the agenda, asserting, "We have sat down as an opposition party, and we are allowing the ruling party to set an agenda. It's annoying and painful. So, if Bawumia comes and delivers his public address, including this in his submissions, what is he going to do?" Anyidoho quizzed.John Mahama has declared that if the NDC comes into office in 2025, it will revert the names of public universities.

Mahama accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government of merely renaming universities constructed by the NDC, emphasizing that the NPP had not established any new universities while in office.

Mahama asserted that while administration blocks, hostels, and libraries could bear the names of individuals, the core names of public universities should reflect their original purpose.

“And so we will restore the original names, and the names that they have given them, will be given to a significant infrastructure in the Universities.

“We will add other people and name the infrastructure in the Universities after them. But if the University is University for Development Studies, that is its core mandate. It will be called the University for Development Studies,” he stated.
