General News of Thursday, 30 January 2020Source: classfmonline.com'Akufo-Addo a leader you can trust' – Adom-OtcherePresident of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-AddoFor being "confident" enough, "against all odds", to implement the Free Senior High School policy, President Nana Akufo-Addo has proven himself to be a leader worth trusting, broadcaster Paul Adom-Otchere had said. President Akufo-Addo rolled out the Free SHS programme in the first year of his first term. As a result, some 1.2 million students have been enrolled for second-cycle education in the past three years. In the view of Metro Tv's 'Good Evening Ghana' show host, "The economy that Akufo-Addo inherited in 2017 was worse than the economy that was inherited in 2009 and 2012", explaining: "The governments of that day were not confident and bold enough to establish Free SHS". "Now, that is important because in the history of our country, the reason why Ghana became important to Africa, apart from the great leadership of the Osagyefo, was because education in Ghana was free and it was qualitative and, so, when a President comes and, against all odds, says: 'I want to establish it as a policy' and puts his foot down to do it amidst all the difficulties that we are seeing, that’s a leader that you can trust – I think", Mr Adom-Otchere said.
