Tatale-Sanguli MP supports 50 needy students with scholarships

In a bid to bridge the educational gap and promote human development in rural Ghana, the Member of Parliament for Tatale-Sanguli, Mr. Ntebe Ayo William, has awarded scholarships to 50 brilliant but needy students in his constituency.

The initiative, financed through the MP’s Common Fund, is designed to help the beneficiaries pursue higher education and eventually contribute to national development.

At a ceremony held at the Tatale District Assembly hall, the students received packages covering tuition, books, accommodation, and other essential costs for tertiary education. They were drawn from communities across the constituency, having excelled academically despite difficult financial circumstances.

Mr. William underscored the central role of education in poverty reduction and sustainable development. “Assisting these young ones to further their courses would help curb poverty rates and also enable them harness their potentials to become good future leaders to the constituency and the nation as a whole,” he said.

He stressed that the MP’s Common Fund should be strategically used to prioritize education, adding, “These 50 students represent the bright future of our constituency. Through the MP’s Common Fund, we are not just providing financial aid; we are sowing seeds for a more prosperous Ghana.”

The MP further explained that beneficiaries were selected through a transparent process by a committee to ensure the support reached those most in need. He urged the students to take full advantage of the opportunity by working hard to achieve their dreams.

District Chief Executive for Tatale-Sanguli, Mary Tagba, commended the initiative, noting that it aligns with Ghana’s Education Strategic Plan, which seeks to guarantee equitable access to quality education nationwide.

Since his election in the 2024 general elections, Mr. William has launched several education-focused projects, including school infrastructure upgrades and teacher training programmes. Residents and traditional leaders have praised his sustained commitment to education.

One of the beneficiaries, a 19-year-old aspiring biomedical laboratory scientist from Sangban, expressed gratitude: “This scholarship means the world to me. My family could not afford the university fees, but now I can chase my dream of becoming a biomedical laboratory scientist and giving back to my community.”

The Tatale-Sanguli community is hopeful that the scholarship recipients will return as skilled professionals to drive development in the district.
