Nsuta (W/R), March 9, GNA – Mr Ebenezer Cobbinah, the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), has advised students to take their studies seriously and adequately prepare themselves to take advantage of future opportunities.
He said the responsibility of managing the country would one day be handed over to the youth, and expressed confidence that they would excel and not disappoint their generation.
Mr Cobbinah said it was the duty of students to make their parents, teachers and themselves proud, and cautioned them against engaging in deviant behaviours that could hinder the achievement of their goals and life purpose.
The advice was contained in a speech read on his behalf at the 69th Independence Day Anniversary celebration organised by the Ghana Manganese Company at Nsuta for both public and private schools within its host communities.
The celebration was on the theme: “Building Prosperity, Restoring Hope.”
The MCE commended teachers in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipality for their contributions toward human resource development.
He said restoring hope required unity, discipline, patriotism and leadership that was accessible and responsive, and pledged to work with stakeholders to justify the confidence reposed in him.
He said everyone had a role in safeguarding peace, respecting the rule of law and contributing positively to national development, stressing that prosperity could only be attained through shared responsibility.
“As we mark the 69th Independence Day Anniversary, we should recommit ourselves to the ideals that unite us as one people: hard work, integrity, tolerance and love for our country,” he said.
Mr Cobbinah said together, citizens could build prosperity, restore hope and secure a brighter future for generations yet unborn.
He noted that the Assembly’s vision aligned with the national development agenda, adding that it remained committed to translating government policies into tangible benefits through efficient service delivery and transparency.
To increase access and improve the quality of education, he said the Assembly was constructing a six‑unit classroom block with ancillary facilities at Esuoso and a two‑unit kindergarten block at Tetrem.
Additionally, rehabilitation works were ongoing on a six‑unit classroom block at Quayson School, while another six‑unit classroom block with a six‑seater toilet facility and mechanised borehole at Bogrekrom had been completed and would soon be handed over.
