The deputy ranking member on the Education Committee in Parliament, Dr. Clement Apaak has stated that he does not deserve an award for doing the job the people of Builsa South voted for him to do.
This comes on the back of the largest student body in the country, National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) upcoming event to award the Builsa South lawmaker for his awesome contribution to education in Ghana.
NUGS also mentioned the Executive Director of Africa Education Watch, Kofi Asare, General Secretary of National Association of Teachers (NAT), Thomas Musah and Michael Owusu Afriyie also known as Teacher Kwadwon as Educational Activist of the Year.
Others are Ambassador for STEM Education, Sara S. Odei-Amoani and BBC Focus on Africa Journalist, Thomas Nnadi.
Commenting on the NUGS’ Awards, Dr. Clement Apaak stated that the people of Builsa South sent him to Parliament because they believed in his competence to effectively represent them.
“Honestly, I don’t think I should be considered. I’m only doing my work as a representative of the people of Builsa South and a member of the Education Committee of Parliament. My people sent me to Parliament because they know I have the needed competence to effectively represent them, advocate, and canvas issues of concern to them and Ghanaians.
“My party put me up as Deputy Ranking Member on the Education Committee because of its confidence in my abilities and experience to deal with matters affecting teaching and learning at all levels. I don’t deserve an award for doing my job. I will humbly ask the organisers to consider those more worthy,” Dr. Apaak stated.
