The Deputy Director of Communications at the Office of the President, Jefferson Kwamina Sackey, has donated 3,000 exercise books to be distributed to schoolchildren in the Ablekuma Central Constituency in Accra.
The move falls under the broad policy “Education Support Programme”, a scheme he has instituted to support children in the area, especially wards of New Patriotic Party (NPP) Polling Station Executives in the constituency.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic after the presentation, Mr Sackey noted that he had lived in the area for 30 years and voted in the constituency since he started voting and believed that parents must be supported in offering quality education to their children.
He said he had always held the belief that the children of the area were the very people who would grow to become leaders of the country, holding responsible positions in corporate entities and political appointments and it, therefore behoved all to support in nurturing their ambitions.
He said it was under that conviction that he had instituted the Education Support Programme to offer his widow’s mite in meeting the parents halfway.
Meanwhile, Dan Abdul-Latif is a member of the Eighth Parliament of the Fourth Republic of Ghana representing the Ablekuma Central Constituency in the Ablekuma Central Municipal District in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana under the National Democratic Congress(NDC).
