Akufo-Addo Wishes All WASSCE Students Best of Luck
The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP)
Presidential Candidate for 2016, Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo has wished the 268,771 Senior High
School students who are sitting for the West
African Senior Schools Certificate Examination
(WASSCE) the very best of luck.

According to him, it is his hope that the students
do themselves justice in the ongoing examination
despite the difficulties they had in the
preparations toward the taking of this
all-important exam as a result of the erratic
nature of power supply facing the country for the
past 3 years.

On his Facebook Wall, Nana Akufo-Addo wrote that
he congratulates the students for not offering any
excuses for their inability to study but rather
have had to employ unconventional measures to
enable them study ahead of this exam.

He again wrote on his Facebook Wall that the
government should heed the request by some heads
of Senior High Schools to reprieve the schools
from the ongoing load shedding exercise during the
period of the examination so that the students are
not deprived of vital learning hours due to
“dumsor dumsor”.


Below Is The Full Message on Nana Akufo-Addo’s
Facebook Wall:

This is to wish the 268,771 Senior High School
students who are sitting for the West African
Senior Schools Certificate Examination (WASSCE)
the very best of luck, and hope that they do
themselves justice.

Preparations towards the taking of this
all-important exam have been rocky, as a result of
the erratic nature of power supply facing our
country these last 3½ years. The students have
not found it convenient to offer any excuses for
their inability to study, but, rather, have had to
employ unconventional measures to enable them
study. I congratulate them for that.

To this end, I add my voice to calls being made by
some heads of Senior High Schools asking for a
reprieve from the ongoing load shedding exercise
during the period of the examination. I urge
government to heed this request and do all it can
to ensure students are not deprived of vital
learning hours due to "dumsor dumsor".

Throughout my public life, I have repeatedly
stated that education is the best way by which we
can dramatically change the fortunes of our
country and join the group of developed nations. A
society that aims to transform itself into a
modern productive player in the global market, as
we in Ghana must seek to do, can only do so with
education and skills training of its young people.
Quality, accessible education is the key to
Ghana’s future and I am asking our students to
seize the key with both hands and open the door to
their own and Ghana’s bright future.

Good luck! God bless!
