Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Member of Parliament for the North Tongu in the Volta region has paid the full fees of 50 tertiary students from the 50 most affected displaced families as a result of the catastrophic VRA-induced floods in his beloved constituency.
The package which includes back-to-school transportation and financial support amounts to a total sum of GHS110,524.83.
The 50 students were selected from all 21 displaced camps; all traditional areas; and all tertiary institutions from universities, colleges of education, nursing training institutions and technical universities.
This latest North Tongu MP’s bursary for displaced tertiary students initiative is expected to guarantee that his beloved tertiary students are able to continue their education without disruptions despite the devastating economic impact of the VRA-induced floods.
It’s wonderful to hear that the MP is taking the initiative to support the education of students who have been affected by the floods. Providing full fees for 50 tertiary students from the 50 most affected families is a generous gesture that will help them continue their studies without financial burden. It’s also a great way to show support for the community and help them rebuild their lives after the disaster.
