Businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye has announced plans to establish an educational scholarship scheme for brilliant but needy students within the Ga community.
According to him, the initiative is aimed at ensuring that talented Ga students are given the opportunity to pursue their education regardless of their financial circumstances.
Mr Quaye made the announcement when he paid a courtesy call on the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, as part of activities marking the Homowo celebrations.
“As you know, I’m a Ga. The community is really after my heart,” he said.
He explained that the initiative forms part of his commitment to supporting the Ga community and empowering young people through education.
“Last year I came to ask for blessings from my elders. I want to introduce an educational scholarship for brilliant but needy Ga students.
“It is my wish that these brilliant students won’t be needy again. Once you’re brilliant, we will make sure we put you in school.”
Mr Quaye therefore appealed to the Ga Mantse and the elders of the community to help spread information about the initiative ahead of its formal launch.
“So I’d plead with the Ga Mantse and the elders to make it known to all, so we launch it properly,” he added.
Before the courtesy call, Mr Quaye donated assorted items to the Ga community as part of activities marking this year’s Homowo celebrations.
The scholarship initiative, when launched, is expected to provide educational support to brilliant but financially disadvantaged students from the Ga community.
