Opoku Agyemang Challenges NPP to Provide Evidence That NDC Will Cancel Free SHS

Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang reiterated that the NDC will review the Free SHS program to address its existing challenges. She emphasized that claims suggesting the NDC plans to cancel the program are unfounded and merely political maneuvers by the opposition.

Her remarks came in response to assertions by the majority party that NDC legislators are not supporting a bill aimed at regulating the Free SHS program.

Speaking during her visit to Akyem-Tafo in the Eastern region as part of her tour of the Abuakwa North constituency, she stated, “Anyone who has evidence that John Mahama said anywhere that he will cancel Free SHS should provide it. If they cannot, their claims should not be taken seriously. We have never made such statements.”

Referring to the challenges faced during the implementation of the program, she clarified, “During our tenure, did you ever hear of double-track? What we have consistently advocated for is a review of the program to address these challenges.”

During her one-day visit to the Abuakwa North constituency, Professor Naana Opoku Agyemang also visited the Headquarters of the Saviour Church of Ghana at Osiem, where she held a closed-door meeting with the church’s leader, Opanyin Abraham Edusei. Following the meeting, she and her entourage were warmly welcomed in Akyem-Tafo by enthusiastic party supporters.
