The Director General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), Mr. Samuel Awuku, on Friday, June 23, 2023, donated some educational materials to the Akuapem North Municipal Education Directorate to support the 2023 mock examinations of B.E .C.E candidates in the Municipality.

Among the items donated were 2,420 mathematical sets, mock examination papers and an unspecified cash amount.

Commenting on the gesture, Mr. Awuku said the items were aimed at preparing B.E.C.E candidates in the Municipality ahead of their final examination.

“This is my modest contribution to help improve education in the Municipality. Indeed, these students are the future of the Municipality and Ghana in general. This donation will cover all schools in the municipality, including private schools because if the students do well, it will uplift the image of the Akuapem North Municipality”, he noted.

On his part, the Municipal Education Director, Mr Lawrence Dzah, praised and thanked Mr. Awuku for his continuous support in the area of education in the municipality.

He indicated that, due to the same support the directorate received last year, the results of the students were better than previous years.
