The beneficiaries received the support on Monday, 26th October 2026, at a brief but impactful ceremony attended by the former Member of Parliament and Minister for Sports, Hon. Isaac Kwame Asiamah, alongside other past and present executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The ceremony took an exciting turn when Hon. Asiamah, before delivering his remarks, thrilled the enthusiastic gathering with energetic dance moves to the ever-melodious tune of “Obiaa Nsa Wo Mu.” His infectious energy drew others from the podium to join him, creating an atmosphere of excitement and celebration.

Addressing the beneficiaries, Hon. Asiamah urged them to become shining examples in their respective communities, emphasising that education remains the surest pathway to relevance and success in today’s world. He recounted his own political journey and experiences working alongside distinguished statesmen as an example of the opportunities education and perseverance can offer. He also commended Hon. Osei Akoto for his generosity and commitment to supporting the educational aspirations of young people in the district.

Mr Ekow Annan, the Human Resource Officer at the District Education Office, appealed to teachers benefiting from the support to return to their communities after completing their studies and help address the district’s growing teacher shortage. He disclosed that Atwima Mponua currently faces a deficit of over 700 teachers, a situation he lamented was negatively affecting contact hours and the quality of teaching and learning.

Hon. Seth Osei Akoto, in his address, encouraged the beneficiaries to remain focused, excel in their academic pursuits and distinguish themselves in their respective institutions. He reiterated his commitment to grooming a new generation of professionals across various disciplines and pledged to extend his support to students at different levels of the academic ladder.

He noted that the GH?200,000 financial support for the 52 tertiary students was a testament to his resolve to invest in the future of the district by creating opportunities for thousands of young people to bridge existing gaps, fulfil their destinies and restore hope to those who might otherwise be left behind.

The visibly elated beneficiaries, accompanied by their parents, expressed profound gratitude to the MP for the timely intervention, describing the support as a significant contribution to their educational journeys and a source of renewed motivation to pursue academic excellence.

The initiative reinforces Hon. Osei Akoto’s commitment to education as a catalyst for development, empowerment and the transformation of lives across Atwima Mponua.
