The Minister of Information Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, says about one point two million students will be benefiting from the Free SHS programme by the end of 2019.
Mr Kojo Oppong Nkrumah stated this at the just ended Town Hall Meeting in the Upper East Regional Capital, Bolgatanga.
He said all programmes introduced by the government would be carried out successfully to deliver the needed change and improve the economy. The Information Minister said the government will not relent on its efforts to make the agricultural sector a vibrant one.
It is for this reason that the government is making huge investments under the Planting for Food and Jobs programme. On the banking sector, he said the financial cleanup exercise government undertook saved the country more than 14 million cedis and assured Ghanaians of the safety of their deposits.
Mr. Oppong-Nkrumah commended people of the Upper East for the massive turnout and interest shown to be abreast of government’s policies, programmes, and interventions.
