The Member of Parliament (MP) for Salaga North in the Savannah Region, Alhaji Alhassan Mumuni, has reaffirmed his commitment to prioritising girls' education in his constituency.
Describing himself as a feminist, he emphasised the need to break barriers that hinder young girls from accessing quality education.
In an interview with The Ghanaian Times yesterday, he stated that during his previous tenure as MP, he collaborated with another MP to establish the KM Model Girls' Junior High School to promote female education. "We started with seven girls, but today, the enrollment has grown to over 100," he mentioned.
To support students from distant communities, he said he provided bicycles to ease their daily commute, adding that he intends to expand the school into a senior high institution.
