The Parliamentary candidate for the Tano North Constituency, Dr Gideon Boako, has made a significant contribution to education in the Ahafo Region by donating 2,000 dual desks to the Tano North Municipal Education Directorate.
This donation forms part of Dr. Boako’s broader vision to uplift the educational standards in Tano North, ensuring that every child has access to quality education and the necessary tools to succeed.
Speaking at a brief ceremony in Duayaw Nkwanta, Dr. Boako emphasized that quality education is essential for the development of any society.
He stated that the desks will be distributed to schools in need across the municipality, addressing furniture challenges in the area.
“Education and human capital development have always been at the forefront of my priorities,” Dr. Boako said.
“This is why I have invested heavily in the youth of this area, sponsoring many to pursue higher education both in Ghana and abroad. Quality education is the bedrock of societal progress, and I am dedicated to ensuring that students in Tano North receive the best possible learning environment,” he added.
Dr. Boako restated his commitment, alongside President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Bawumia, to support the development of education in the region.
He assured the gathering that he would continue to work closely with the government to address the challenges faced by schools, ensuring that students can learn in a conducive environment.
He also urged the authorities to maintain the desks properly to ensure their longevity, underlining the importance of caring for the resources provided to the schools.
In a show of support for students, Dr Boako encouraged candidates currently sitting for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) to approach their exams with confidence, assuring them of his best wishes and prayers for their success.
Mr. Ekow Mensa, the Tano North Municipal Education Director, expressed deep gratitude for the timely donation.
