Nene Professor Abanam Akpanglo II, Senior Divisional Chief of the Kabiaweyume ruling Clan of the Ada Traditional Area, has advised rural dwellers to make life time investments in Education.
This is because, education, apart from having the highest and most sustainable overturn, would also create a good future for the beneficiaries.
Nene Akpanglo II, who is also a former Vice Chancellor of the University of Education, pointed out that poverty and mass illiteracy were siblings which moved hand-in-hand.
He made these remarks at a durbar to climax the Decade Anniversary Celebration of the Covenant Preparatory School at Tefle, in the
South Tongu District, under the theme: �Education - The Basic Unit Of Global Excellence.�
The former Vice Chancellor urged Ghanaians to invest in education, because the advanced nations and many people who had made it in
society, attained those heights through education.
�Moveable property cannot be compared with education,� he stressed.
Mr Alfred Prince Obikyere, proprietor of Covenant Preparatory School, and the school�s administrator, Mr Wisdom Serwonu, recommended that
policies on education must be geared towards the holistic development of the child.
Solidarity messages were read by Mr Komla Woyome, Member of Parliament for South Tongu, Mr Samuel Sekey, Volta Regional Director of
Education, and Madam Gladys Amenyah, Director of Education in-charge of Basic Education.
Mr Woyome donated GHC500 towards the development of the school.
