This comes barely a few weeks after President Mahama, through the Ghana Education Service (GES), allowed heads of public second-cycle institutions to procure food locally to address the feeding challenges.

This directive, according to the students, has resulted in an upgrade in the nutritional value and taste of their meals.

"We now eat Abena Rice, we are no longer served consuli. We are also served sausages. Free SHS is now fun," they were heard saying in the video.

The boys also said they thought President Mahama would cancel the free education policy introduced by the Nana Akufo-Addo administration because of what they heard during the campaign for the 2024 general election.

However, they said the president had rather improved and made things better for them by providing quality meals.

"We thought Mahama was coming to cancel free SHS, but we now know he is not going to cancel it," they added.

Below is the video of the SHS students posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Ghanaian blogger @eddie_wrt.
