He therefore urged all to let the annual event build love and commitment for the nation.
Hon MCE further stated that the Covid-19 pandemic has derailed the progress in academic works and caused havoc in every aspect of life hence the need to work together and embrace the Electronic levy bill (e-levy) since it’s an avenue for government to generate revenue to deal with the negative impacts of Covid-19 to build the economy.
The Municipal Education Director, Mrs. Abena Gyamera in her welcome address acknowledged the past leaders who through their toil has brought the nation this far, therefore, entreated all to be factors of change in order to help solve the complex issues facing the nation.
