Mr. Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah advised the youth especially students under his

jurisdiction to take their studies serious and emulate the exemplary move by

the Russian Master’s student.

Mr. Buah,

who is also a deputy Minister of Energy in charge of Petroleum, implored parents

to support their wards’ education to enable them attain better positions in the

society and refrain from spending on activities that would not yield any better

outcome to their lives and the society at large.

These, he

mentioned as buying of expensive clothes for funerals, weddings, and other

social occasions.

vocational training or trade.

focused as well as commit themselves to every activity or project that they
