Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the subsequent evacuation of Ghanaian Students to neighbouring countries, the NPP National Youth wing working with its youth wing in United Kingdom, led by Richard Gyamfi, is raising funds to compliment the timely and all-encompassing support being offered by government of Ghana to the affected Ghanaian students.
“It is our understanding that about 700 Ghanaian students have fled Ukraine so far and reports are that some would want to, with the support of Government of Ghana, continue their education in countries like Hungary albeit a dozen of students returning to Ghana some few days ago,” the National Youth Organizer, Henry Nana Boakye ESQ stated in a statement released over the weekend.
Read excerpts of the release below:
As a youth wing that have strong working ties with Ghanaian students abroad, we deem it obligatory to offer our widow’s mite to cushion the victims in these trying times.
It is on this premise that we intend using the NPP-UK Branch’s Youth Forum 2022 event scheduled for March 12, 2020 in UK to raise funds to support our compatriots.
The aforementioned event would be attended by Her Excellency, Mrs. Samira Bawumia, 2nd Lady of the Republic of Ghana and a host of government Officials and NPP leaders.
We commend the government of Ghana and its foreign missions for their timely intervention and overarching support to our compatriots who have been at the receiving end of the Russia-Ukraine war.
These are extremely unusual and challenging times at the heart of a devastating pandemic and global economic crisis. However, we shall overcome it, collectively.
Thank you.
