During the session, Minister Abubakar emphasized the importance of self-preservation and personal development. She candidly advised the students, \u201cIf they are looking for a gang leader now that you are better off in your mom\u2019s bedroom minding your business, if you want to hide and watch TV, that\u2019s fine, stay on the phone, whatever it is, it\u2019s Okay, but don\u2019t mix with any bad crowds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She further advised the girls to set high standards for themselves, adding, \u201cJust tell yourself that the quality of men I want to attract, they are not ready for me yet, so let me hold my own, preserve myself for the big opportunities that I will get in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minister Abubakar shared her personal journey, highlighting the transformative power of education in achieving success. She stressed, \u201cIf you don\u2019t finish this school, there are lots of cracks and spaces that you cannot fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Employers want graduates. If there\u2019s a job now, they want graduates with certificates.\u201d This statement served as a powerful reminder for the students to prioritize their education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reflecting on her own background, Minister Abubakar inspired the students by recounting her experiences and achievements despite coming from a humble beginning. \u201cNobody can convince me that you cannot come out of public school and do great things because I came from that, and I\u2019m so proud of my school,\u201d she declared with pride. This personal testimony served to underscore the possibilities that lie ahead for the students, regardless of their starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In her concluding remarks, Minister Abubakar urged the students to preserve themselves for future success. \u201cSelf-preservation and self-development are key. Education pays; don\u2019t let anybody convince you otherwise. Look at me, from Chopper to Ghana Bar. Ghana Bar is about lawyers. I came from Chop bar, now I\u2019ve graduated to the Ghana Bar, so what shows that if you want to be a sage, you can\u2019t?\u201d Her words resonated deeply with the students, providing them with a strong sense of purpose and determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, Minister Abubakar assured the students that she would personally assist anyone who gains admission to a school but lacks the financial resources to purchase necessary supplies. This generous offer further reinforced her commitment to supporting the educational pursuits of the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The session concluded with the students feeling inspired and empowered, thanks to the encouraging words of Minister Fatimatu Abubakar. They left with a renewed sense of purpose and a strong commitment to achieving their educational goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The initiative, led by Coordinator Gloria Anderson, aims to equip students with the necessary academic and spiritual tools for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In her address, Mrs. Anderson highlighted the comprehensive nature of the program, which goes beyond mere academic preparation. \u201cWe have teachers from various subject fields who help the students with subjects they find difficult,\u201d she said. \u201cWe guide them on the proper ways of answering questions, and beyond the BECE, we pray with them and share the word of God. It\u2019s not just about teaching and equipping them academically; it\u2019s also about preparing them spiritually for their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The program also includes sessions on time management, study techniques, and career guidance. \u201cWe bring in experts to talk to the students about how to manage their time, how to study effectively, and what career choices they should consider,\u201d Anderson added. \u201cWe also guide them through the school selection process, helping them make informed decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n This year\u2019s preparation class included a significant mentorship session with the Minister of Information, Fatimatu Abubakar, who shared insights and advice with the students, further enriching their experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gbcghanaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG-20240726-WA0093-1.jpg?resize=800%2C534&ssl=1\")
