The National Commission for Civic Education, NCCE, has received 50 Isuzu vehicles from the President, Nana Akufo Addo through the Office of the Chief of Staff to support the Commission’s public education campaign on COVID-19.
In addition, a sum of Two Million, Five Hundred and Seventeen Thousand Ghana Cedis has been released to the Commission to facilitate its work on COVID-19 across the country.
Chairman of NCCE, Ms. Josephine Nkrumah during a brief handing over of the vehicles to beneficiary regional and district offices was very thankful to the President of the Republic, H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for personally taking interest in the work of the Commission. She said President Akufo-Addo has shown goodwill to resource the NCCE and this is a gesture the Commission and members of staff appreciate.
Ms. Nkrumah said there is so much the NCCE can do to stir-up civic consciousness among citizens of Ghana, unfortunately the lack of resources and tools remain a set back for the Commission to reach out to the larger population.
” We at the Commission are also thankful to Civil Society Organisations in Ghana, the media and the people of Ghana who passionately advocated that NCCE be resourced to educate citizens on COVID-19 and more importantly intensify civic education in Ghana”.
She said, “the work of the civic educator in the next three months is critical and I charge all officers of the Commission to work hard in our collective fight against COVID-19”.
