Elders in Ashaiman Zongo community have expressed their gratitude to NPP presidential candidate and Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for providinig a scholarship opportunity to a native of Ashaiman community to be trained as a medical doctor in Cuba.

At a community engagement programme in Ashaiman organized by Iqra Radio on Thursday, the Zongo Chiefs of Ashaiman, while asking for more scholarship and development opportunities, expressed their appreciation for the inclusion of their brilliant son, Mohammed Muntari, among a group of 40 students sent to Cuba to study medicine under the Zongo Development Fund.

In 2020, the Zongo Development Fund sent 40 brilliant but needy students drawn from various Zongo communities to be trained as medical doctors in Cuba.

One of them was Mohammed Muntari, a brilliant student from underprivileged background in Ashaiman, whose excellent all-As WASCEE results went viral on social media with people appealing for funds to support him to further his tertiary education.

The appeal attracted the attention of Vice President Bawumia who facilitated his inclusion in the list.
