Following a petition by an MP to the Speaker of Parliament that a motion be moved to demand that President Akufo-Addo suspends the payment of fees, many Ghanaians have taken to social media to support the move.

The MP for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga had argued that the suspension of fees will cushion students and parents amidst the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on people.

But with Parliament yet to debate and conclude on the matter, a hashtag is already trending.

Social media users, mainly students from different institutions across the country are putting pressure on the government to consider the proposal.

I had to defer my course in my final year cos I couldn’t pay my fees early so I wasn’t supplied study materials to study for exams which was near the corner. That’s why I voted and prayed JM wins cos of kyemp3 policy. But yaanom stole the win😭😭😭 #SuspendTheSchoolFees

Now more than ever, the Ghanaian people, students most especially, need the benevolent interventions of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government. I trust he won’t disappoint.#SuspendTheSchoolFees

You don’t want to #SuspendTheSchoolFees because you have money to cater for your wards.

#It is obvious that the outbreak of Covid-19 has had a negative impact on business and has rendered many parents jobless.
The call for suspension of School fees for the 2020/2021 academic year by Hon. Mahama Ayariga is a call in the good direction.
