He said: “You have not gotten to school by mistake, you are here because you have worked hard and you want to make it in life. To be successful in life, the basic tool is education. You have to take your education serious...You are at a cross road in your education because this is where your future starts.
“In you we have future presidents, MPs, clergy, teachers, doctors and many others.”
The Constituency Chairman, advised the students not to bend the rules of the “game”.
“If you want to be successful, do not cheat. Please don’t send foreign materials or indulge in any examination malpractice. Believe in yourself and believe that you have made it.”
The Circuit Supervisor of the Ayawaso Sub-Metro of Education, Madam Naa Adoley Dodoo who received the items, thanked the MP for the gesture and called on other MP's to emulate his example.
