Nana Oduro Panin Burikuran, the Chief of New Edubiase, has hailed the Free SHS policy of the NPP government describing it as the greatest intervention in the nation’s education sector.
He thanked President Nana Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for honoring their word on the Free SHS which, he noted, has alleviated the burdens on parents and guardians.
He said, owing to the life-changing impact of Free SHS, Ghanaians must do everything to protect the policy from a possible cancellation in the future by a government.

According to the Chief, since Free SHS is an NPP initiative, the best way to protect this policy which has benefitted every household is to allow the party to remain in government.
The Chief further gave a personal account of the benefits of the Free SHS and the need for it to continually exist saying “I have 5 children, 3 of whom have befitted from the NPP’s Free SHS policy and I didn’t have to pay anything. I want the remaining 2 children to also enjoy free quality education”.
He added; “I cannot risk their future by trusting a leader who does not believe in Free SHS. Millions of people across the country also share similar story. This is one of the many reasons why Ghanaians must support the NPP.”
Nana Oduro made these remarks when Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, NPP Vice Presidential Candidate, paid him a courtesy call in his palace on Monday, 23rd September, 2024, as part of his campaign tour.
The Chief also commended the government for undertaking many developmental projects in the area.
He mentioned the construction of roads, schools and health infrastructure.
On his part, Dr. Prempeh thanked the Chief and people of New Edubiase for their warm reception and appealed to them to vote massively for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the party’s parliamentary candidate for the constituency, George Oduro, to rightly reclaim the New Edubiase Seat for the NPP.
The Running Mate to Dr. Bawumia concluded his constituency-focused campaign tours for the day visiting Obuasi East and West and rallied support for the NPP flagbearer and parliamentary candidates, Dr. Patrick Boakye-Yiadom and Kweku Kwarteng for Obuasi East and West respectively.
