8. Students were sacked from examination halls or centers for non-payment of exam fees (BECE  or WASSCE fee).

With their Ghana cards, students at the tertiary institutions now easily access student loans. Students won't pay the loan until they start working. 

16. Remember, during John Mahama's era, there were no pandemic and Russian-Ukraine conflict. Under Nana-Bawumia government, they took bold decisions and protected lives of Ghanaians during the scary COVID-19 period. The World's Most Popular COVID-19 quote at that time in mind. "We know how to bring the economy back to life. What we do not know is how to bring people back to life" - President Nana Akufo-Addo. This statement meant a lot with lockdowns, closure of borders, suspension of aviation services, tax exemptions, among others, knowing the economic implications on the country. We are bouncing back together for good.

Thank you
