Addressing some 5,000 delegates at the National Extraordinary Delegates Conference in Kumasi on December 17, 2017, John Boadu said, plans are far advanced for the establishment of the school.
According to John Boadu, the rationale for the establishment of the school is to primarily offer leadership training for members of the party, who aspire to take up leadership positions in the party and in government.

He further explained that the training institute will also identify and groom talents from our educational institutions, and imbibe in them the kind of leadership that resonates with the 21st Century and also, inculcate in them the core values that underpin the NPP establishment.
