Akufo-Addo congratulates 13-year-old Ghanaian prodigy

The 2016 flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has congratulated Master  Simon-Peter Atuahene Frimpong, who has been invited by US President Barack Obama to participate in this year’s White House Science Fair as one of the top Science, Technology, Engineering And Maths (STEM) students from across the USA. 

In a letter to Master Atuahene Frimpong, Nana Akufo-Addo stated that “this is to congratulate you on the honour”.

He also stated that “you and your schoolmates are to be highly commended for your achievement in building a prosthetic leg that allows amputees to hike, manage uneven terrain and even skateboard!”

In the opinion of Nana Akufo-Addo, Master Atuahene Frimpong is an excellent example to the youth of Ghana. 

According Nana Akufo-Addo, Science and Technology must be the centrepiece of the educational system of the country if we are to make the rapid transformation of our society and economy that would bring prosperity to our people. 

“This is the commitment of the political party whose presidential candidate I have the privilege to be, and to which your parents also belong, the New Patriotic Party. Indeed, your mother is the 2nd Vice Chairperson of its USA Branch,” he stated. 

I wish you luck in your further education and in all your future endeavours and hope that you will always remember that you are a Ghanaian,” Nana Akufo-Addo concluded.
