Government has begun to work towards this,\u201d President Akufo-Addo said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, government has also made several strides at the international front since 2005 to strengthen existing relationship with other French speaking countries and associations with other individuals, including former French President Jacques Chirac.<\/p>\n<p>The President also advised the students to take advantage of the invaluable opportunities that are available to them, to acquire knowledge and skills that would go a long way to enable them succeed in life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo you my dear students, you are fortunate to be studying in one of the finest educational institutions in the country, and I urge you to make this one of the most invaluable opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEducation is the key to unlocking your full potential and achieving your dream.
