The MP for
Ofoase-Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has awarded scholarships to 200 students
in his constituency. The scholarship will supplement government’s newly
launched Free Senior High School
Education programme being enjoyed by the
current first-year students in public second cycle institutions.
The Education and Skills
Development Programme committee in the constituency received over 1000
applications, but 200 students from SHS Forms 2 and 3, Teacher and Nursing
Training Colleges, Polytechnics and Universities sailed through the process to
benefit from the scheme. Mr. Oppong-Nkrumah advised the beneficiaries to live
above reproach and stay focused to justify why they merited the scholarship.
“Through this initiative we hope
to keep about 200 students every year in school starting from this year. To you
who are beneficiaries don’t let me down, don’t let your parents down and don’t
let the people of Ofoase-Ayirebi down,” Mr. Oppong-Nkrumah emphasised.
