‘Pojoba’ donates customised face shields to school
The Pope John Senior High and Minor Seminary Old Students Association (Pojoba) has donated 200 pieces of customised face shield to the school.
The item which cost about GH¢ 6,000.00 was made available through the voluntary contributions of individuals of the various year groups.
The President of the Association, Mr Isaac Abe Duah said the students were complaining of not hearing their tutors clearly when they (teachers) use the nose masks while teaching in the classroom.
He again said some of the tutors felt uncomfortable using the nose masks to teach for long hours.
Mr Duah said, this prompted the old students to design the face shields for both the students, teachers and non-teaching staff for easy communication in and outside the classroom.
He said the future of the students was very critical in this hard time of the pandemic and, therefore, necessary that all their put their hands on deck to help them come out successfully.
The President urged all the students to continue to put their trust in God, never waiver in faith, and make good use of the little time left and the Almighty God would help them come out with flying colours.
Mr Duah advised them to adhere to all the safety protocols to save them from contracting the virus.
“I encourage you all to hold your head’s high and know that God is in control of your future,” he sermonised.
The headmistress, Mrs Benedicta Foli received the items and thanked the Old Boys for their swift intervention.
She assured the Old Boys that the shields would be used as directed and it was her hope that all the students would pass their final examination to the glory of God.

Administrator of the Minerals Development Fund, Hannah Louisa Bissiw, has appealed to supporters of the National Democratic Congress to remain patient as the government works to create employment opportunities.
According to her on GHone TV today, March 12, 2026 the government led by John Dramani Mahama is taking steps to stabilise the economy and address several national challenges, which she believes will eventually create more jobs for the youth.
Dr Bissiw explained that the government inherited many difficulties and is working to fix issues affecting roads, water, electricity, education and the economy.
She noted that addressing these problems takes time and therefore party supporters must allow the government the space to implement its programmes.
Dr Bissiw indicated that leaders of the party, including the National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, have been engaging supporters across the country and encouraging them to remain patient.
According to her, improvements in the economy are already being seen, including stability of the Ghana cedi and a reduction in food prices.
She explained that these developments are helping to ease some of the economic pressure on citizens.
Dr Bissiw further stated that the government is making efforts to support young people, especially those who were previously denied employment opportunities.
She revealed that she has personally helped about 63 young people secure opportunities even though they were not previously known to her.
Dr Bissiw therefore appealed to party supporters to remain hopeful and continue supporting the government as it works to improve the economy and create more opportunities for the youth.

The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Justin Kodua Frimpong, has clarified that the party’s ongoing online membership registration is open to all Ghanaians.
He explained that the registration process allows anyone interested in joining the party to sign up, regardless of their previous political affiliation.
Mr Kodua Frimpong made the remarks on Thursday at the NPP head office in Accra while addressing concerns that supporters of other political parties could take advantage of the online system to register.
According to him, every Ghanaian has the right to register and become a member of the party if they choose to do so.
He added that even the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, could register if he wished to join the New Patriotic Party.
Mr Kodua Frimpong noted that if Mr Asiedu Nketia decides to sign up, he would be accepted like any other person who wants to become a member.
He further stated that such a decision would mean that the NDC chairman has recognised the values of the NPP.
The NPP General Secretary was providing an update to the public on the party’s membership registration exercise.
