Rahim Banda, since the launch of the programme in 2017 September has been the middle man of the Free SHS policy introduced by President Akufo-Addo to enhance and make education accessible to every Ghanaian child.

The Ambassador expressing gratitude in a post shared on his Facebook timeline monitored by Georgeweb.org said ” Fully aware of the challenges I would face when granted this ambassadorial role, I fully took up the responsibility regardless. With every day passing and all work, myself and my team have done,  it is satisfactory enough that we know we have gained some recognition from the masses.

“Problems with transportation of our material to remote areas became an issue for the team. We sought to the ministry of education to provide us assistance in the form of a vehicle to transport our material. On the 10th of June 2020 the Honorable minister and the ministry of education granted us a brand new pick up for my team and I to effectively continue our work”.

“We are grateful to the minister and his ministry and also my own Creative Arts and media associates who have been supporting me especially Attractivemustapha.com for publishing every event we attended. We will use this as motivation to do more than we have already done. (Back to school from the STREET) Thank to the ministry and the honorable minister and most of all,  thanks to the almighty Allah”.
