I had a breakfast meeting with 30 selected students from different communities in my constituency, Bosomtwe, who are going to pursue a Bachelors Degree in different spheres of engineering at the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT), Tarkwa, come next (2021) academic year, courtesy my sponsorship.
The courses include Mining Engineering, Geological Engineering, Environmental and Safety Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering and Geomatic Engineering.
My office has taken care of admission, tuition and accommodation of these 30 fresh students until they complete their various courses.
This feat is part of (an already started) strategies and processes for tof he fulfillment of one of my political resolutions: to get, at least, 100 engineers and doctors each from my constituency by the time I leave office as MP. It is also a way to thank the Lord for how far He has brought me, looking at my story of how I nearly could not go to Secondary school because of pof overty; and to also help others that might not have the opportunity to realize their dreams and potentials if they are not given a helping hand.
Apart from these thirty freshly admitted, soon-to-be UMaT-trained future engineers, there are other students pursuing medicine, engineering, education, nursing and other courses at different levels of tertiary education, both local and abroad, courtesy my office.
