E/R: MP sponsors needy WASSCE student to university
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam Adoagyiri and Majority Chief Whip in Parliament, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has volunteered to sponsor a brilliant but needy WASSCE student in the Nsawam municipality to the university.
This was after news of the student’s parents’ inability to pay his admission fees surfaced on social media on Wednesday.
The 18-year-old student, Gabriel Kwaku Pobi, is a product of the government’s Free SHS policy.
He completed St Peters Senior High School at Nkwatia in the Eastern Region in 2022, obtaining “7As” and a “B” as a General Science student.
He was the Overall Best WASSCE candidate this year in the Nsawam municipality.
Already, Ghana’s topmost universities; the University of Ghana and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have offered him admission to pursue Pharmacy and Electrical Engineering respectively, despite his financial constraints.
With Annoh-Dompreh’s timely intervention, Gabriel will start school beginning next academic year.
