A staffer at the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Legal Directorate, Kingsley Amoakwa-Boadu, has clarified that his party is not opposed to the National Democratic Congress' proposal to eliminate academic fees for all first-year tertiary students. However, the NPP has raised concerns about the feasibility and implementation of such a policy. Speaking on The Big Issue on Channel One TV, Amoakwa-Boadu expressed the NPP's support for initiatives that increase access to education, emphasising the importance of educated and creative minds in driving Ghana's development. He acknowledged that expanding access to tertiary education is crucial for harnessing the country's natural resources and advancing its developmental agenda. "For myself and my party, anything that increases access to education is welcomed. For a long period of time, this country has needed educated minds because we have natural resources and all that, and it is that creative and imaginative mind that boosts our developmental agenda [we want].
