Apesika (E/R), April 26, GNA - The Member of Parliament for Nkawkaw, Mr Seth Adjei-Baah is to offer scholarships to girls in his constituency, who will obtain between aggregate six and 15 in this year's Basic Education Certificate Examination to pursue their second cycle education. He announced this when he visited a number of communities in his constituency to thank them for voting for him to enter parliament. Mr Adjei-Baah also interacted with his constituents about their needs and advised parents to send their children to school especially girls to enable them to get assistance to further their education at the secondary and tertiary levels.

Some of the communities he visited were Saafi, Ahantanang, Yakoko, Owusukrom, Ampeha, Apradang, Apesika and Abetensu. Mr Adjei-Baah said education is the only weapon that parents could bequeath to their children to effectively fight literacy, poverty, disease and unemployment.

The MP said electricity would be extended to eight communities in the constituency this year while a number of feeder roads would also be rehabilitated.

He announced that the Assembly had acquired a new grader which would be put to use during the rehabilitation of the roads. Mr Adjei-Baah urged the communities to provide sand and stones while he supported them with cement, roofing sheets, iron rods and other building materials to rehabilitate and construct classroom blocks for basic schools in their communities.

The Krontihene of Apesika, Nana Kofi Anane I, thanked the MP for the visit and assured him of the co-operation of the communities.
