The newly elected Parliamentary Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the Adentan constituency, Akosua Manu affectionately called Kozie has donated several learning materials to the 36 basic, junior high, and senior high schools in the constituency.
The materials totaling 10,000 pieces of exercise books, 10,000 pieces of pens, 10,000 pieces of pencils, and an undisclosed number of calendars were distributed to the various schools on the first and second days of their reopening and return from the Christmas break.
To encourage and motivate these pupils and students, especially for the girl child, to whom Akosua Manu holds a special commitment, and to demonstrate her unwavering belief in and commitment to education, she led the distribution of these record learning materials to the various schools, mingling with the pupils and students and having hearty conversations with them.
She listened to their concerns and pledged to address some subsequently.
In return, she admonished them to be studious and passionate about their studies since it is the only means through which they can break the poverty cycle and make meaningful impacts on their lives.
For the teachers, she equally had very engaging conversations and reassured them that as the pivot around which our educational system revolved, the NPP government would keep doing more to better their lot.
Also assuring them that in her, they have an advocate who will champion their interests and needs.
At the Frafraha Community Senior High School (FACOSH), after a durbar of students and teachers, she took turns interacting with teachers and students alike.
As it was the first day at school, some parents who had come with their wards also engaged with the parliamentary candidate and expressed their gratitude for her generous gesture. Asking for more support in the future.
As one of the major competitors in the upcoming Parliamentary elections in December, Kozie believes she represents a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale political environment dominated by male MPs since the creation of the constituency in 2004.
It is that feminine touch of motherly care, compassion, and an in-depth understanding of the issues that plague the constituency that she hopes to bring to bear in formulating lasting solutions for the constituency.
