Yussif Jajah donates GH₵250,000 to support 72 Ayawaso North students

Hon. Yussif Jajah, Member of Parliament for Ayawaso North and Deputy Minister for Tourism, has presented a total of GH₵250,000 in financial assistance to 72 tertiary students from his constituency. This initiative, designed to provide a direct cushion against the rising costs of higher education, targets students from vulnerable backgrounds who have demonstrated academic potential but face significant financial hurdles. The disbursement ceremony highlighted the MP's ongoing commitment to human capital development as a cornerstone for local growth and stability.

Each beneficiary of the scholarship fund is set to receive at least GH₵3,000, which is intended to cover essential costs such as tuition, registration fees, and academic materials. Addressing the students and their families, Jajah emphasized that the support was more than just a financial transaction; it represented a strategic investment in the future of the Ayawaso North community. He urged the students to maintain a high level of academic discipline and to use the resources responsibly, reminding them that the community's trust and his continued support depend on their success and integrity.

The initiative has been met with widespread praise from parents and community leaders, who described the intervention as a major relief for families struggling with current economic pressures. Many beneficiaries expressed that without this support, their continued enrollment in tertiary institutions would have been in jeopardy. By focusing on education, the MP aims to create a ripple effect where empowered graduates return to contribute to the constituency’s social and economic fabric, ultimately reducing poverty and enhancing local productivity through skilled human resources.
