In a commendable gesture, Japhet Festus Gbede, Assemblymember for Wuxor-Have-Sremanu Electoral Area in the Akatsi South Municipality of the Volta Region, has donated mathematical sets, cash, and other vital educational resources to support BECE candidates from his electoral area.
The donation aims to assist the students in their ongoing exams and encourage them to excel academically.
Mr. Gbede’s altruistic act has earned him widespread attention, with many praising his dedication to the well-being of his electorates. Emphasizing the significance of education, he remarked, “Education is the key to success, and it is imperative that those in political leadership invest in the foundational educational ladder of basic students.”
During the presentation, the Assemblymember emphasized the importance of quality education and urged the students to shun examination malpractices and focus on their studies at this critical hour.
While expressing disappointment in the leadership’s role in supporting education in the constituency, Mr Gbede extended his gratitude to his donors for their support in enabling him to aid needy students at a critical time in their lives. He lamented his inability to donate to students across the constituency due to economic constraints but encouraged those who didn’t benefit to remain hopeful for academic success.
“It is unfortunate that the current economic situation has limited my ability to support all students, as I would have wished. However, I am grateful for the support of my donors, which has enabled me to make a positive impact on some lives. I urge those who did not benefit from this gesture not to be discouraged or emotionally tortured,” Hon. Gbede said in an interview with the media.”
Mr Gbede, an aide to the former High Commissioner and Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, H.E. Alhaji Said Sinare, also praised William Worfa Kpormatsi for his remarkable gesture of single-handedly donating to all BECE candidates in Akatsi South in the past.
He expressed his admiration for Hon. Kpormatsi’s selflessness and dedication to the educational development of the constituency. Moreover, he offered a heartfelt prayer, seeking divine strength and renewal for Hon. Kpormatsi, so that he may continue to champion the cause of the Akatsi South Constituency and perpetuate his benevolent works, contributing to the advancement of the constituency in education.
The recipients expressed gratitude for the support and pledged to work hard and make their communities proud. The donation has boosted their morale and confidence as they prepare for their exams.
This heartwarming gesture is a testament to the positive impact that leadership can have on the community. We wish the BECE candidates the best of luck in their exams and appreciate the Assemblymember’s dedication to their success.
