However, he now has to resort to a different source to get funds for the school.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Blackson, who has been ranting about the issue since the financial investment got locked up, took to social media on October 14, 2024, once again to lament his frustration and announce the legal proceedings. <\/p>\n<p>He stated, \u201cI\u2019m seeking legal actions against the finance ministry of Ghana. I have a free school I\u2019m financing on my own, and they took away the potential earnings I was going to use to fund the school. Now I have to figure something else out for those poor kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blackson had earlier said that he had purchased Eurobonds to run his school at Agona Nsaba (Michael Blackson Academy) but has had challenges with recouping his investment. <\/p>\n<p>According to him, he invested in Eurobonds because he figured that would help pay for the lifespan of the free school he built.<\/p>\n<p>However, he said, \u201cGhana decided to use our money to pay their debt to China or whoever and leave us hanging.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en\">I\u2019m seeking legal actions against the finance ministry of Ghana \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udded.
