YEN.com.gh earlier reported that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has revealed that his administration is considering putting a system in place to help needy tertiary students.
This according to Nana Addo will help cater adequately for deprived tertiary students who through no fault of theirs cannot pay for their tuition.
This move comes on the back of his NPP administration’s free Senior High School and Technical and Vocational Education and Training introduced in 2017.
