Briefing the media following his interaction with residents who attended the ceremony, he said, “I took advantage of the occasion to admonish the beneficiaries and the youth to take their education seriously and avoid engaging in social vices on campus and at home.”
“I also informed them of a full scholarship package for any constituent who gains admission to a medical school and law faculties.
“I urged them to take advantage of the numerous youth initiatives rolled out by the government such as the Youstart, National Youth Volunteers Programme, Ghana Enterprise Agency’s grant for SMEs, and agriculture/agro-processing agencies among others,” he stated.
