President Akufo-Addo on Wednesday cut the sod for the construction of the ¢5 million Ghana Award House, a new administrative building for the Head of State Award Scheme.
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony, President Akufo-Addo explained that since its inception in 1967, the Head of State Award Scheme has challenged and touched the lives of many young Ghanaians, with some 750,000 young people participating and benefitting from the scheme.
“I have always been excited about the work being done by the Award Scheme, and that is why I continue to urge them to ensure that as many young Ghanaians as possible benefit from it. To achieve this ambitious target, a befitting administrative office for the Scheme will be required. The provision of a Ghana Award House, to serve this purpose, is my commitment towards driving the agenda of the Award Scheme,” the President said.
In reaction to this, A Plus has addressed the fact that there are other problems that need to be prioritized in terms of development rather than the construction of the Ghana Award House.
He registered his displeasure on Facebook by saying; We don’t have textbooks, we are so broke that the government has increased taxes and introduced new ones to salvage the economy, Ghana is back to ‘dumsor’ due to lack of funds to fuel power plants, (Tell the people the truth).
“You have asked workers not expect salary increase because there is no money, children still school under trees in 2021, people drink dirty water from the same pond with animals, you have not begun your 88 district hospitals because there is no money, women give birth on the floor, existing hospital lack beds, [SIC]”, he added.
Not long ago Tarkwa government Hospital did not have a single wheelchair, it took a group of young guys to come together to procure some for them yet you have five million Ghana cedis to build some useless “Ghana Award House.
The same way you went to a country that does not believe in Jesus Christ/Christianity to import a stone to build a cathedral for Jesus.
Nana, I love you and I know for a fact that millions do too but hmmm you have broken many hearts It’s too much!!! [SIC].
Not only A Plus has commented on the construction of the Ghana Award House, YouTuber, Kwadwo Sheldon has also said that he has regretted campaigning for the New Patriotic Party(NPP) in the 2020 election.
