To the thousands of students coming from diverse backgrounds and from communities in the Nzema area, the MP charged them to focus on the opportunity provided and learn.

“You and only you, can determine a better future for yourself and it starts now”, he advised.

He continued “If you fail the WASSCE, the blame will not be on your parents nor the government, but on you. Don’t ever forget” he cautioned.

The students expressed excitement and satisfaction for the timely intervention by the MP to help them stay in the learning mood during this long vacation.

A total of 46 professional teachers, the MP revealed have been carefully selected and engaged to teach in all core and elective subjects at three strategically selected centres.
