President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his Vice, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, have donated GH¢100,000 to the Poppy Fund, established by the Veterans Administration, Ghana (VAG) to support the welfare of the veterans and their widows. Vice President Bawumia, who launched the VAG’s 2022 Appeal for Fund, in Accra, urged all well-meaning Ghanaians to support the Fund and also purchase the poppy to help the VAG raise funds for its activities. The message should get to the public, particularly pupils and students in government schools, where knowledge of the poppy is almost non-existent, he stated. Captain (Rtd) Ben Edmund Duah, the Executive Director, VAG, gave the assurance that the Administration would judiciously utilise the funds for welfare of members. He appealed to the public to give generously to the Poppy Fund to support the welfare of members.
