Wow. Excellent Initiative on the part of the students. I wish all students in SHS would focus and bring something New on board to improve our agriculture sector and other sectors so that together we can all lift the Name of Ghana higher and higher. But no, now most of them are busy with TikTok, relying on AP)) and so forth. Please, the youth in Ghana should rise and work towards the proper development of our nation.
