The Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya West and Deputy Minister for Works and Housing and Water Resources, Hon. Gizella Tetteh-Agbotui, has encouraged first-year Senior High School (SHS) students to remain focused on their education and resist the influence of negative peer pressure as they begin their secondary school journey.
She gave the advice during a donation exercise where she presented 300 mattresses and trunks to SHS One students from her constituency, as part of her ongoing efforts to support education and ease the financial burden on parents.
This latest gesture brings the total number of donated items to over 500 for the year—following an earlier donation of 200 mattresses and trunks just two weeks prior.
Speaking to Atinka News reporter Samuel Nyamekye Jnr, Hon. Tetteh-Agbotui explained that the initiative forms part of her broader commitment to promoting quality education and ensuring that no child is left behind due to economic hardship.
Addressing the gathering, she urged the students to be disciplined, determined, and hardworking in order to make their families and the Awutu Senya West Constituency proud.
Meanwhile, some parents and beneficiaries expressed deep gratitude to the MP for her consistent support and dedication to improving child welfare and education in the area. They praised her as a “true mother of the constituency,” highlighting the impact of her interventions over the years.
Hon. Gizella Tetteh-Agbotui has long been recognized for her educational initiatives and continues to advocate for policies that promote access, inclusion, and excellence in education.
