The National Democratic Congress Parliamentary candidate for the Nabdam constituency in the Upper East Region, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane has supported 206 second cycle and tertiary students in the constituency with GHC100 each to help pay their school fees for the 2016/2017 academic year.
Dr. Nawaane said, the financial support to the students was in fulfillment of a promise he made last year.
According to him, the gesture is significant because most of the students come from vulnerable homes.
Presenting the cash to students at Presentation Junior High school in Lodgre, Dr. Nawaane reiterated his commitment to improve the livelihood of constituents through social interventions.
Citing the construction of the Yakote bridge with his own resources, Dr. Nawaane stressed that, the Education, Health and Agriculture areas will receive massive investments to transform the lives of residents if he is voted into office as Member of Parliament in the December polls.
Some of the beneficiaries who spoke to Citinews expressed profound gratitude for the kind gesture.
Dr. Nawaane later presented 200 pieces of NDC party T-shirts to the John Mahama ladies in the constituency at Sakoti to campaign assiduously for a one touch victory for president Mahama and Dr. Nawaane as MP for Nabdam.
He pledged to empower women particularly in skills training and financial support to harness their trading activities.
Dr. Nawaane promise to provide potable drinking water as well as dugouts and mini dams for dry season farming.
“I am not waiting to become MP before I can help my people, am doing it because I want to serve them. I have provide boreholes, supported students in their education, performed free surgery for my people, among others for the constituents and am optimistic that, come December 7 the electorates will elect as their Member of parliament base on my records,” Dr. Nawaane noted.
