He urged the public to support the NPP in the 2024 polls, citing their dedication to Ghana's development.

"We are committed to improving TVET institutions and providing practical training to students," Professor Nyarko emphasized. "We urge the public to support the NPP in the 2024 polls as we continue to work towards Ghana's progress."
