The Member of Parliament (MP) for Okaikwei South has supported 200 needy senior high and tertiary students in the Constituency.

The annual support for needy students in the Okaikwei South Constituency is in its second year.

In 2022, a total of 150 students benefited from the MP’s gesture. However, the number has increased to 200.
Speaking to the press after the ceremony, Madam Dakoa Newman said her aim is to ensure no student is unable to further their education due to financial difficulties.
“As we do every year, today we have met here to support basic school students with academic materials and also support them with their fees and feeding needs, so they can focus on their books and learn hard and get the good grades needed of them.
“For last year, we supported 150 students but this year, we have increased to 200 students, because the students in need in the Constituency are many,” she said.
