Akatsi North MP, Peter Nortsu-Kotoe, has paid tuition fees for some 95 tertiary students from his constituency.

The beneficiaries are students from various Universities, Colleges of Education, and Nursing.

Mr Kotoe provided cheques ranging from GH¢2,400 to GH¢8,000, totalling GH¢400,000, to cover fees for the 2025/26 academic year.

He explained that the initiative was fueled by a vision to enhance the constituency's Human Resources, which he recognised as lacking expertise when he was elected to represent them in 2013.

He outlined that he is focused on enrolling graduates in science-related programs and on skill development, having identified human resource gaps in the constituency.

“The lapses really are in the science-related courses. Last year I wanted some numbers for law, medicine, and mechanical engineering, but we couldn't get, we just got two or three.

"So, that is the area we need to focus on, and skill development. That is why I am taking an interest in those who are admitted to technical universities," Mr Kotoe said.

He further indicated that he spends over 70% of his share of the DACF on school fees each year.

The MP, therefore, encouraged the beneficiaries to study hard and excel academically to justify the significant investments made in their education.
