Addressing the parade, the District Chief Executive for the area, Daniel Kwame Gariba who presented the awards to the best teachers commended them for their hard work and urged them to keep it up.

He further advised the students that, the government has put in place measures to create an enabling environment to help them enjoy scholarships to pursue tertiary education in order to become responsible adults.

The DCE said the introduction of the free SHS programme by the ruling government was the single most important social intervention to be implemented in this country since independence.

“We are all witnesses to the increasing numbers of Ghanaian young girls and boys in our SHS who otherwise would have dropped out of school” he noted.

He said the government was laying a strong foundation for a skilled workforce for the future through the free SHS programme.

The DCE gave the assurance that the government was working hard to provide the needed infrastructure to accommodate all students and phase out the double-track system.

On Security, the DCE said the government was committed to continuing support and providing logistics to security agencies to protect the peace in the Country.

He, therefore, praised the forefathers who struggled to gain independence for Mother Ghana, some 63 years ago and urged the youth to continue to work hard to support the ruling government to build a strong economy to create jobs and wealth.

He called on the people of the Area to continue to rally behind the government to pursue pragmatic policies and programmes outlined since 2017.
