A cabinet Minister in the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s led NPP goveenment is optimistic he can raise 100 engineers from the Bosomtwi Constituency in the Ashanti Region within 10yrs.
Hon. Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, the Education Minister who doubles as the Member of Parliament for the people of Bosomtwe Constituency on Friday, 14th January, 2022, organized a mini durbar of Chiefs and people of Bosomtwi Constituency to bid farewell to 61 students from Bosomtwe who will be studying Medicine and various courses in Engineering fully is fully funded by the MP.
According to Dr. Osei Yaw Adutwum, he has a stern believe in the Ghanaian youth especially those in his constituency in becoming higly qualified engineers to support the developmental growth of the Ghanaian economy which the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has strategically put him at the education ministry to transform our education and produce human resources that can stand the 4th industrial revolution and provide the country with the requisite expertise.
The 100 engineers initiative which started with 30 engineering students last year has now increased to 61 students within a year. The Friday’s colorful ceremony at the Bosomtwi Constituency office gave the Minister the opportunity to interact with the students and motivated them in the presence of their parents, Chiefs, opinion leaders and the entire community as he presented Laptops to each student, fees, boarding, feeding and transportation paid.
He mentioned that the freshmen will be studying in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology-KNUST, University for Development Studies-UDS, University of Mines and Technology-UMAT, University of Energy and Natural Resources- UENER and Kumasi Technical University-KTU.
“My vision of ensuring that Bosomtwe gets 100 Engineers within the next ten years is on course.” said the Bosomtwi MP.
The ecstatic beneficiary students who shared their happiness with www.mayorcarlos.com expressed their gratitude to Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum for his generosity towards them NAD their parents and thereby redefining their destiny which might have been something very far away from becoming engineers due to the high cost involved in that field.
They couldn’t hide their joy as they were seen crowded around the Minister and taking ‘selfi’ photos with Dr. Osei Yaw Adutwum.
