"Koomson Stephen is a graduate of Mpohor SHS in the Western Region with 5As and 3Bs in his WASSCE in 2021.
"Due to financial constraints and circumstances beyond him, the needy but brilliant student has abandoned education since 2021. He joined "Galamsey" artisanal mining and other menial jobs to survive and support other junior siblings," Debrah shared on Twitter.

The renowned blogger's post generated reactions, including a comment from the deputy education minister.

''Will like to meet Koomson. Is there a way you can arrange for us to meet him and assist him through university to realise his dream? God bless you for bringing his plight to notice,'' the lawmaker posted.

Online users heap praises on MP

People have since been praising the minister over his decision to assist Stephen in accomplishing his dream.
