Defence Minister Dr.
Edward Kofi Omane Boamah has revealed a long-hidden struggle from his childhood-how he nearly missed out on a place at Pope John Senior High School due to what he described as an "admission conspiracy." Speaking at the school's 67th Anniversary and Speech & Prize Giving Day on Saturday, Dr.
Boamah said his mother fought tirelessly to reverse what appeared to be a plot to swap his place at POJOSS with another applicant. "Someone tried to take my place.
My mother went back and forth between POJOSS and SECTECH three times in one day until she found my results card buried in a box," he narrated emotionally. "That's how my journey here began." He used the story as a powerful metaphor for perseverance and parental sacrifice, urging students to honour their families by fighting to build dignified lives and serve others.
