University of Cape Coast Hails MP For Gomoa

The University of Cape Coast has hailed the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Rachel Appoh, for her youthful exuberance and victory in last year’s Parliamentary elections.

The Member of Parliament who consequently appears to be the youngest female Member of the Sixth Parliament under the fourth Republic was enormously praised for her inspirational role and determination.

The Gomoa Central MP transcended all boundaries, breaking the yoke of domination to make the list of Parliamentarians as an emblem of motivation to youths in Ghana.

Rachel Appoh was commended during the Valco Hall Week Celebration of the University, under the theme “Unity and Development, the role of the student.”

Delivering a speech on behalf of the Youth and Sports Minister, Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah, Hon. Appoh encouraged the students to equip themselves with practical expertise in order to empower them for the competitive job market.

She also made a call on the students not to engage in politics of insults as they pursue a career in politics but rather ensure peace and stability in the country.

She advised them to abstain from social vices which will be a canker in their pursuit of success.

Addressing the students, Hon. Appoh urged them to remain resolute explaining that “our role as students should be working towards achieving sustainable peace and stability in our country. Our aspirations of becoming DCEs, MMCEs, MPs, Speakers of Parliament and even Presidents can never be achieved if the peace we are enjoying in this country is disrupted…As intellectuals, we can always argue but it should not degenerate into tribal and political insults.”

She further called for unity to exist among the students irrespective of their political and religious affiliation, imploring them to stay focused on their academics and aspirations.
