Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Otiko Afisa Djaba, has said governments’ flagship programme free Senior High School is the main tool to eradicate poverty in Ghana.
According to the Minister, poverty is not for Ghanaians but rather a disease to Ghanaians which needs to be treated.
“We can do it we need to do one thing at a time, we are going to move away from the hand outs to the add up”.
The Minister noted that as Ghanaians we should dream of owning our own homes, if you wear used cloths, dream of wearing new cloths that is a Ghana we must dream of building.
Free SHS will help us educate our children so that they take their destiny into their own hands to save ourselves from extreme poverty.
She was addressing the three Regional Ministers from the north in Tamale.
