Ghana’s Speaker of Parliament Professor Aaron Michael Oquaye has cautioned nine Ghanaian students who are first beneficiaries of the Republic of Serbian Scholarship not to go and engage in internal politics of that country.
Professor Oquaye admonished the students to be worthy ambassadors of Ghana but studying hard to distinguish themselves in their field of study.
The nine students who are mostly females, with two males were going to study medicine, pharmacy and international business.
The Speaker gave an undisclosed amount of money to the students to help support the students as they embarked on their trip Thursday night to Serbia.
The scholarship was obtained by Speaker as part of his official visit to the Republic of Serbia in helping normalize relation with both countries.
Professor Aaron Michael Oquaye gave assurance to the departing students that he would visit them and there was someone to receive them in Serbia when they arrive.
“Be interested in your academic work, do not go and get yourselves involve in their internal politics, this is a country that had trained many doctors, during my time when we were leaving six form, I know personally some of the beneficiaries of their scholarships”.
Again do not go and rock the boat, the scholarships were awarded as a result of diplomacy, you are the receivers of Ghana’s relation with Serbia, next year around this time we would have thirteen students leaving the shores of our country, he said.
