“In recognition and sincere appreciation of your outstanding role in advancing the decentralization of Scholarships which has resulted in transparency and increased access to scholaship opportunities in Ghana,” the inscription on the Citation acknowledged.
Mr. Agyemang said the Secretariat was indebted to the MP for his numerous statements on the floor of Parliament and personal interactions with the President, which led to the positive changes in their activities from 2017 till date.
“Through your singular efforts, we can say that majority of Ghanaians numbering about 40,000 who would otherwise not have had the opportunity to have scholarships now have it, and so we thank you and we are very grateful to you for the efforts,” he remarked.
