Guests and officials could not hold their laughter after the Principal of the SDA College of Education cunningly pleaded with President John Dramani Mahama to “dash him a vehicle” to replace his old one.
The hilarious exchange took place at the launch of President John Mahama’s No Fees Stress policy held at the SDA College of Education at Koforidua on July 4, 2025.
The principal, Prof Vincent Adzahlie-Mensah, while highlighting issues the college faces, and the urgent need for mobility support for principals, revealed that his official vehicle, a 2007 Nissan Patrol, is now 18 years old, prompting laughter from the attendees.
“We need vehicles for principals of colleges of education. The Minister of Education has promised to help us get those vehicles.
“Your Excellency, it will surprise you that the principal who is speaking to you came here in a 2007 registered Nissan Patrol vehicle. That vehicle is now 18 years old. I just think that it will be important for you to direct so that one vehicle will be left for the principal to drive home tomorrow,” he said.
In response to the principal’s request, President Mahama assured him and others that the Ministry of Education has already set plans in motion.
Mahama announced that in 2025, the government would be procuring 66-seater buses for tertiary institutions and 50 vehicles specifically for principals of colleges of education.
“Your principal will benefit from one vehicle… So, principal, we don’t need to leave any of the vehicles we brought behind. Yours is coming. Manage with the 18-year-old for the mean time,” the president assured him.
