“I was elated and honored to be a special guest at the just-ended 62nd Speech and Prize Giving Day celebration of Accra Girls Senior High School with one of my mentors, Dr. Daniel McKorley, Chairman of the McDan Group of Companies, and my good friend and brother, Deputy Minister of Education Hon. Rev. Ntim-Forjour.”
He added that the most powerful tool you can give a person is education. He then appealed to the Ministry of Education and all stakeholders not to limit education to the classrooms only.
“The most powerful tool you can give a person is education.” If you educate, you empower. Like I always say, education should not be limited to the classroom. “An educated girl child grows into a literate woman who has a greater chance of breaking the cycle of poverty, being more productive, and boosting the standard of living for herself, her children, and her family, as well as the society at large.”
“It is always a pleasure to support the only senior high school in the community that I was born and bred in, which also happens to be a girls school.” One of the best girls’ senior high schools in Ghana..
Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, in his conclusion, pledged to build a new teachers’ bungalow and called on parents in the Zongos and inner cities to enroll their daughters in the school.
Formed in 1962, the Accra Girls Senior one of the best girls school in the country.
