The Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Professor George K. T. Oduro has said the Central region continues to remain poor because it has been neglected by its natives. He said the case of some educated natives migrating to the other regions of the country to work resulting in their development is worrying. According to him, some of the high performing institutions in the other regions are manned by natives of Central region to the detriment of their land. Also, he noted the absence of manufacturing industries in the region has also worsened the poverty situation of the area.
