President Akufo-Addo, in his 9th address to the nation, pledged to empower the NCCE as a frontline civic educator to lead the process of public education across the country. The Deputy Minister extended government’s appreciation to the NCCE for being innovative and proactive rather than reactive in the fight against COVID-19. Ms Josephine Nkrumah, NCCE Chairperson, who received the donation, commended Government for empowering its frontline civic educators to enter into the communities, markets, lorry parks, and any other human habitats to disarm COVID-19 through accelerated public education. Ms Nkrumah also asked other partners who consider civic education as one of the core drivers in the fight against COVID-19 to donate whatever they could, especially in terms of logistics. She said the NCCE is undertaking the campaign dubbed: NCCE Anti-COVID-19 Public Education Campaign and it is being supported by the Church of Pentecost, who has provided a mobile cinema van to sensitise people across country.
