So, he is always looking for a solution to some of the problems that people like that face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I am not surprised when he outlined this policy that when he is in office he is going to ensure that the scholarship resources are deepened to the point that he will be able to take care of all PWDs who make it into the tertiary level so that it doesn\u2019t become a challenge that perhaps because of your condition and maybe coming from a poor background you are unable to access resources to have tertiary education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat way once again people will not be limited by their condition and situation to have the best in this country and achieve the best potential that they may have,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"entry-content no-share\">\n<div class=\"content-inner \">\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frederick Opare-Ansah, campaign manager for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has highlighted the NPP flagbearer\u2019s deep empathy towards those experiencing hardship.
