Member of Parliament for Nkwanta South Constituency, Geoffrey Kini, has made a significant donation of over 200 trunks and mattresses to students who gained admission to four Senior High Schools in the municipality. The beneficiary schools include Nkwanta Senior High School, Nkwanta Community Senior High Technical School, Kyabobo Girls Senior High School, and Ntruboman Senior High School. This initiative aims to encourage enrolment and restore confidence in education following years of unrest in the area.
The donation was motivated by the MP's desire to motivate students and parents to continue choosing schools within the municipality despite the challenges the area has faced in recent years due to insecurity. Mr. Kini explained that peace was gradually returning to the area, and stakeholders were working tirelessly to ensure that educational activities continued without disruption. He emphasized that investing in the education of young people remained a priority and called on parents to have confidence in the local schools.
The MP urged parents and guardians to enroll their children in schools within the municipality, assuring them that the security situation had improved significantly and that authorities were committed to protecting students and staff. This appeal comes as a result of past incidents that had affected the area, causing concerns among parents and guardians. However, Mr. Kini expressed optimism that the situation was under control, and it was safe for students to attend school.
In a show of solidarity, Municipal Chief Executive of Nkwanta South, Joseph Awal Antwi, reiterated the commitment of the assembly and security agencies to safeguarding all students in the area. He assured parents that adequate measures have been put in place to guarantee the safety and well-being of students on campus. Mr. Antwi encouraged parents not to be discouraged by past incidents, emphasizing that the municipality was steadily returning to normalcy and remained a safe place for teaching and learning.
The Municipal Education Directorate received the donation through its representative, Christian Ogudi, who thanked the MP and the MCE for their continuous support towards the improvement of education in the municipality. He noted that the donation would go a long way to lift some burdens off parents and, at the same time, motivate others to stay and continue their education within the municipality.
Some parents expressed their excitement and appreciation to the MP for such a gesture, especially during their difficult moments due to the conflict that has affected their livelihoods. The donation has been seen as a significant step towards restoring confidence in the education sector in the area.
