The Heritage Christian University College (HCUC) based in Amasaman in the Greater Accra Region has launched a Two Million Ghana Cedis (¢2,000,000.00) scholarship endorsement fund to provide support for the needy but brilliant students whose parents are not financially sound.

Speaking at the launching, the Controller and Accountant General, Kwasi Kwaning-Bosompem mentioned that, the college is introducing a program that goes beyond traditional education, preparing students to make meaningful contributions to the advancement of knowledge and entrepreneurship while upholding ethical standards.

He stated that ethics is becoming an issue of late in our working environment as people can not establish bad deeds from good in their doings because, in everything they do, they think that is the way to go, indicating that if ‘we have institutions that intend to add value and advance ethics in our dealings such an institution should be commended.’

He was of the view that the launch of the endowment fund is a testament to the commitment of the Heritage Christian University College to inclusively have access to quality education, saying that, the initiative is not merely an act of generosity but rather it is a strategic move that aligns with the broader goal of fostering entrepreneurship.

He asked the public to support them by way of donating any amount of money to push the initiative to enable them to offer scholarships to more SHS graduates while moving them out of the street and helping change their lives.

Dr. Boadu adds, that many youths are into robbery activities because they cannot get assistance from anybody to continue their education, thus, the HCUC saw the need to come out with such an initiative to help offer assistance to such people in the various communities and give them hope.

Meanwhile, the President of the Heritage Christian University College, Dr. Samuel Twumasi Ankrah said, that noble vision of the College is to become the leading Christian University across Ghana and beyond, promoting excellence in knowledge and entrepreneurship.

The Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South Constituency in Eastern Region Lawyer Samuel Atta Kyea has stated that, for the first time in the history of Ghana, the country would be privileged to have an economist as its President.

According to him the NPP’s flagbearer elect – Dr. Bawumia who is being persistently accused of the country’s economic woes by the NDC will soon turn things around.

“But they shouldn’t worry because if someone is suffering from teeth pains it is not a tailor or carpenter who heals that person but rather it is the dentist, hence Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia is coming in 2025 as a President-elect to fix the challenges confronting our economy.”

The former Works and Housing Minister added that he is optimistic that Dr. Bawumia would defeat John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 general because he [John Mahama] has nothing new to offer Ghanaians.

Lawyer Atta Kyea asserted this to Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH whiles commenting on the New Patriotic Party’s presidential primaries held nationwide over the weekend where Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia emerged victorious.

The MP further said when the energy crisis hit Ghana under Mahama’s administration he couldn’t solve it but in the midst of COVID-19 and Russia, the Ukraine war, Dr. Bawumia supported President Akufo-Addo to fight it and also assisted him in implementing the Free Senior High School policy to give equal opportunity for every Ghanaian child to have access to education.

Atta Kyea used the occasion and entreated Ghanaians to remain focused and vote for Dr. Bawumia in 2024 because he is the only person who can transform Ghana and not the NDC’s John Dramani Mahama because they had nothing to offer.

Eastern Regional Minister, Seth Kwame Acheampong after touring some of the election centres in the Region expressed his satisfaction with the electioneering process.

He told KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH that the main target of NPP is to break the eight and continue working hard to develop the country.

The newly flagbearer elect, Dr. Bawumia emerged victorious over Kennedy Agyapong, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Francis Addai-Nimoh.

He polled 118210 votes, representing 61.47%, while his closest contender, Mr. Agyapong, polled 71,996 votes, representing 37.41%.

Dr. Afriyie Akoto, who came third had 1,459 votes, representing 0.76%, while Addai-Nimoh garnered 731 votes, representing 0.41%.

But for that Abuakwa South Constituency where the exercise was held at Experimental M/A Basic School, Dr. Bawumia managed to accumulate 503 votes as against Kennedy Agyapong’s 84 votes with Francis Addai Nimoh accumulating 2 votes while Dr. Afriyie Akoto had no vote.

For this reason, the flagbearer elect will lead the NPP into the 2024 general election where he will keenly contest the NDC’s led John Mahama.
