The Overload of Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Area, Okyenhene Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin, says that he is optimistic Free SHS introduced by the government will be a game-changer to Ghana's development.
According to the Okyenhene, the fundamental stimuli of every developed country is access to quality education. He, therefore, urged parents to take advantage of the policy to educate their children.
Speaking at a durbar of chiefs and subjects of Gyaase Division of his traditional area held at Akyem Kwabeng as part of his royal tour of 16 towns he also admonished beneficiary students to learn hard and take advantage of the availability of internet services to acquire knowledge.
He further stated that the availability of internet services will add value to their personal progress instead of using it for immoral activities such as watching pornographic materials.
Again the Okyenhene at the durbar said he believes the Akufo-Addo led administration will fulfill all policies they promised the people of Ghana.
According to him, Rome was not built in a day, therefore, the Akufo-Addo government cannot fix all protracted problems of Ghana within two years in power.
He, therefore, called on his subjects to be patient with the Akufo-Addo-led government as it fixes the challenges of the country.
