Edudzi Tamaklo, acting Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority, addressed key concerns surrounding the implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.
Reflecting on campaign promises made by former President John Dramani Mahama, Tamaklo emphasized the need to resolve pressing issues, particularly in relation to school feeding.
Tamaklo recalled that during his campaign, Mahama stressed the importance of addressing challenges related to feeding in schools in an interview on The Big Issues on TV3 monitored by MyNewsGH.
He believes that empowering schools to source food locally is essential to not only address the feeding issue but also stimulate local economies. "Schools have always been an integral part of growing the local economy," he said. "If you empower the schools adequately, they begin to source everything within their localities, which helps grow the local economy." Tamaklo highlighted that local sourcing of food would reduce unnecessary bureaucratic delays.
