Mr Agyei gave the advice at a workshop on general essay writing organised by the Junior Graphic newspaper as part of its 2019 essay competition for Upper Primary pupils and junior high school (JHS) students. He said it was meant to empower the students in their academic work and also help them improve on their previous performance in the competition. The workshop was attended by many JHS students in the Greater Accra Region who were enthused about it.
