In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on the Facebook page of Kofi TV, the intelligent teen said his inability to pay his fees is because his family is financially constrained.
"My father is no more and my mother is a fish monger", my younger brother now is also SHS 3.

Scholarship Secretariat must be proactive
Mr Daniel Fenyi in an interview with YEN.com.gh appealed to the Scholarship Secretariat and GETFund to ensure that persons who are truly in need get the needed assistance.
"Revelations made in the Auditor General's report, released in 2020, it is clear that the GETFUND has veered away from its original target group (the poor) to rather sponsor rich people in school."
The GETFUND Secretariat must ensure that the many brilliant but needy SHS graduates, dotted across the country, should be given the financial support to further their education. The children are the future of the country, hence, leaving them to fate only spells doom for the human capital and manpower resource of the country.
Ghanaians react to the appeal for support by Prince Amos' concern
Netizens who thronged the comment section of the video opened up on their readiness to support the young man in pursuing further education.
I can apply for full funding for him to study in either Canada, US or France. All I need is his Wassce certificate, transcript from Adisadel college and 2/3 recommendation letters from his teachers.
Emmanuel Kwesi reacted:
