Former Managing Director (MD) Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Mr. Kwame Agyeman -Budu, has donated 3300 pieces of mathematical sets to candidates in some 52 schools in the Ejisu Municipality of the Ashanti Region.

“I am here this afternoon to encourage you that you should not be worried at all. I want you to know that what you are about to write is not different from what you have been writing in school.
“My Hallmark is to support thought education development of the youths in Ejisu Municipalty hence my decision to donate items to the students,” he noted.
Additionally, Mr. Kwame Agyeman-Budu pointed out that what has touched his heart to support BECE candidates in the 52 Junior High Schools was that he realized that the quality Education is a bed rock of the country, saying that “if it is not education, he has not gotten to the level for which he is now.”
He called on parents to invest heavily in their children’s education to help them to become a responsible person in the future.
He lamented that there are some children are academically brilliant but their parent are financially poor to support their education.

He encouraged the students to learn all the topics for which they were taught by their teachers.
“I am encouraging you to learn all the education materials given to you by your teachers because are what they are going to meet were what the topics they had been taught in their classes by their teachers, warning that it is wrong to send foreign materials to the eximinations hall.
“Do not follow any teacher or middle person to give you any fake material which would take to the examination hall that would land you in the trouble,” he advised.
He called on the students not to give up of their dream, saying that they should learn hard to achieve their best results from the examination.
‘We wish the candidates the best of luck in their examinations and pray for God blessings upon them before, during and after the examination,” he stressed.
