Prophet Nigel Gaisie is of the opinion that the Free SHS policy by the Akufo-Addo-led government is not working as well as it wants the world to believe.
The policy is often touted by the government as one of its biggest achievements and fiercely defended by its appointees and footsoldiers.

During a speech on February 15, 2020, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia referred to the policy as "the most significant social intervention introduced in Ghana since independence.”
Gaisie, the founder of Prophetic Hill Chapel does not fully agree with the position of the presidency, saying that everyone in Ghana is behaving like an ostrich.
"You see, we are in a nation where we are all deceiving ourselves. From the presidency to the lowest person. And I have been saying that we are all sitting on a time bomb," said Gaisie in an interview with YEN.com.gh.
"Free SHS is not going well. It is a good noble idea. I love it. Powerful but it is not going well."
