The Director General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), Mr. Samuel Awuku, has donated some educational materials to the Akuapem North Municipal Education Directorate in the Eastern Region.
The items included 2,202 mathematical sets, mock examination papers and an unspecified cash amount aimed to support the 2024 mock examinations of BECE candidates in the municipality.
Presenting the items, Mr. Awuku, also the 2024 New Patriotic Party parliamentary candidate for the area, said the donation of the items was aimed at preparing BECE candidates in the municipality ahead of their final examination.
He indicated that “this is my modest contribution to help improve education in the Municipality. Indeed, these students are the future of the Municipality and Ghana in general”.
He said this donation will cover all schools in the municipality, including private schools in the municipality.
The NLA boss explained that his outfit had since constructed an ultramodern basketball and volleyball court for the Okuapeman School, Astroturf in Presbyterian Education College, re-roofing of the Salem School in Akropong, Rehabilitation of Saforo Basic School, securing desktop computers to Sinai SHS, Mampong Presby SHS and the walling of Mt. Sinai SHS and Mangoase SHS among others.
Appreciation
Officials at the Municipal Education Directorate praised and thanked Mr. Awuku for his continuous support in the area of education in the municipality.
They added that due to the same support the directorate received last year, the results of the students were better than in previous years.
Thereafter, the NPP parliamentary candidate visited the Electoral Commission’s office in the constituency to monitor the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.
He noted that the process was going on smoothly, and expressed excitement with the turnout of the registration in the constituency.
He cautioned parents and guardians to resist the temptation to get their under aged children registered.
He reaffirmed his commitment to spearheading development in the area, and unite the NPP front when elected as the MP.
He urged Ghanaians to have confidence in the current NPP government. He also appealed to the electorate push hard to ensure a win for Dr. Bawumia in the December 7 polls.
