President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said he has fulfilled 80% of the promises he made to Ghanaians prior to becoming President.
Whilst highlighting his achievements since taking office in 2017, the President, during his “Thank You” tour of the Western Region Wednesday, November 06, 2024, urged the residents to vote for the Vice President and flag bearer of the NPP to continue his good works.
He touted the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy which he described as his flagship legacy, reemphasising its impact on Ghana’s educational system.
“The NPP manifestos of 2016, and 2020, 80% of those promises have been fulfilled by my government. Specifically, these include our educational system, which is the foundation of every nation.
“Before I assumed office, our children who completed school JHS, every year, one hundred thousand plus were unable to attend SHS. Even though they qualified for SHS because their parents were unable to pay their fees.
“Over the course of 10 years, one million young Ghanaians were not able to continue their education. We were unable to protect the future of the young ones.
“That is why I introduced the Free SHS policy, for the government to absorb the fees, to allow students to attend school,” he stated.
