MP Boosts Candidates’ Morale Ahead Of BECE

By Mohammed Awal

THE MEMBER of Parliament (MP) for East-Ayawaso, Naser Mahama Toure has donated educational materials to Junior High Schools (JHS) in the East-Ayawaso constituency in Accra. The items donated were 750 packs of mathematical sets, pens and rulers respectively.

The beneficiary schools were Kanda AMA, Kanda I and 5 JHS, Ring Road JHS, Nima I and 2 JHS, St. Kizito School and Islamic JHS.  Others were Alwaheed JHS, Islamic Training JHS, Kanda International School, Eve Godson School, Nima Presbyterian School and EP JHS.

Presenting the items worth thousands of Ghana Cedis at a ceremony, Mr. Toure said the donation was in line with his vision to “change and transform” the face of Nima and its environs through the provision of quality education. He hinted about the establishment of a scholarship scheme which would be aimed at helping needy but exceptionally brilliant students in his constituency.

Mr. Toure, therefore, advised the students to be discipline and uphold their studies seriously so as to make their parents and the community proud. The officer in charge of the schools in the constituency, Merry Naa Adoley Dodoo said the gesture by the MP would go a long way to “boost the morale” of the students, ahead of their first national assignment. “This gesture,” she said “will really motivate the students to do well”.

It would further ameliorate the situations where students would come to the exams hall gnawing that they have no mathematical sets, pen, this or that, she added. Sandra Bekoe, a student of St. kizito JHS who is also a BECE candidate thanked the MP for his benevolence. “I was overwhelmed by the kind gesture”, she noted.

She called on other benevolent individuals, institutions and corporate bodies to follow the footsteps of the MP, since the gesture done was “worthy of emulation and recommendation.” Wemakor Arnold, also a BECE candidate, said the donation was “timely and critical to their success,” in their impending exams since most of their parents couldn’t afford such basic materials.
