President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has directed the Ghana Scholarships Secretariat to grant full scholarship to Mr Thomas Amoaning for his tertiary studies.

Mr Amoaning, who lives in Asuaba near Adeiso and attended Adeiso SHS, is reported to have scored 8As in the recently released West Africa Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results.

Mr Amoaning, a day student, reportedly walked from Asuaba to Adeiso, a distance of about 6 kilometres on a daily basis to attend school.

The President ordered that he is awarded a scholarship taking into consideration his socio-geographical background.

A statement issued to that effect by the Scholarships Secretariat signed by Mr Kingsley Agyemang, the Registrar, stated that the Secretariat has subsequently established contact with the student and his parents and will, on Friday, 27 November 2020 pay a visit to the family to discuss their needs in detail.

Attached is the full statement:
