I've a package for first best 50 BECE students in my constituency — Dr. Minta Nyarku gingers BECE candidates

This year's Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) commenced across the country on 15th November, 2021.

As usual, government officials, parliamentarians, traditional authorities and some opinion leaders visit examination centres within their jurisdictions to motivate the students ahead of the examinations.

As part of his usual working visit to his constituency, Dr. Kwamena Minta Nyarku, the Cape Coast North Member of Parliament paid a working visit to all the examination centres within his constituency on Monday, 15th November, 2021.

The centres visited were the Efutu Secondary School Examination Centre, University Practice Senior High School Examination Centre and Wesley Girls Senior High School Examination Centres all within the Cape Coast North Constituency.

Speaking at the Wesley Girls Examination Centre he said, "I'm here to wish you well in your exams and I hope you're going to make us proud. You know Cape Coast is the cradle of education and we believe all of you are prepared to do the same to make sure that Cape Coast go higher."

At the Efutu examination centre, Ragga as he is affectionately called explained that "We decided not to give you mathematical sets because we know that most of you have it already".

He stressed, "The packages we have for you is that, when you're going to SHS, we shall give you ¢500.00 to support you. Do your best, make us proud, make your parents, make your community proud and make your schools proud as well."
