Chief Executive Officer of the Scholarship Secretariat, Dr Kingsley Agyemang, who is the brain behind the initiative, in his discussions encouraged the students to have a positive mindset which is critical in everything they do.
“Therefore, if you put fear in the mind, you exhibit fear. If you put positivity in the mind, you exhibit positivity. Everything starts and ends with the mindset. What you feed your mind with is very, very important,” he stated.
He expressed his appreciation to the Municipal Educational Directorate of the GES and the management of the various schools for collaborating with him to make the programme a success.
He underscored the need to empower the youth through nurturing for Ghana’s future development.
He urged students to take their studies seriously to enable them take up the leadership mantle of the country in the near future.
