So, when you introduced the Free SHS programme, I had managed to save GHS4,500. I used this money to buy 150 bags of cement to construct my building.

You are building a confident, elite society for the future. Every nation\u2019s future is contingent on its youth, and not every youth is a youth unless you have been educated formally,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Odeifuor Afoakwa III was confident that \u201cin future, Ghana will develop because many more will be able to write and read to enable them to work without hustles or supervision. Mr. President, God bless you abundantly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the \u201cOne Million Dollar, One Constituency\u201d pledge of the Government, he indicated that his town has been a beneficiary of the projects being implemented under the policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe programme started and in my town here, there is rig digging the ground for an ultra-modern toilet system to be constructed. This is not found only in my town but in other parts of the district, Enyan Denkyira, Abaasa, Ajumako, Enyan Mim, and many other places,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-536328\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Akufo-Addo-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-536330\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Akufo-Addo-4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The Breman Essiam Chief stressed that \u201cif anybody tells you that one constituency one million dollars promise has not taken effect, tell that person it is not true because I am a living witness to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Odeifuor Afoakwa III urged all Ghanaians to support President Akufo-Addo and his government, and \u201ceschew all prejudices, and support all the policies that the President is implementing.
