Legon, Accra — September 10, 2025
In a stirring act of leadership and solidarity, House Minority Leader Hon. Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin has paid the tuition fees of 33 students from the Volta Region, all members of the Volta Regional Students Association (VORSA) at the University of Ghana, Legon. The total support amounted to GHC 105,000.
The gesture, made this afternoon, was not only financial, it was deeply symbolic. Addressing the beneficiaries, Hon. Afenyo-Markin emphasized the transformative power of education and the moral imperative of discipline, urging the students to embrace academic excellence as a pathway to responsible citizenship and national development.
“Take your studies seriously,” he advised. “Remain disciplined, commit yourselves to excellence, and you will become the kind of citizens Ghana needs, visionary, responsible, and ready to contribute meaningfully to our future.”
The students, many of whom face financial hardship, expressed profound gratitude for the intervention, describing it as a lifeline that would allow them to continue their education without disruption.
This initiative adds to Hon. Afenyo-Markin’s growing reputation as a champion of youth empowerment and inter-regional unity. By extending support across regional lines, he reaffirmed the principle that national progress must be inclusive and rooted in shared responsibility.
The Volta Regional Students Association (VORSA) leadership hailed the Minority Leader’s gesture as “a beacon of hope” and called on other public figures to emulate his example.
As Ghana navigates complex challenges in education and equity, moments like these remind the nation that leadership is not only about policy, but about people.
