A future salvaged: GNPC Offers Full Educational Scholarship to Brilliant ‘Galamsey’ Boy.
The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC ) has offered full scholarship to Stephen Koomson, a 21-year-old Senior High School graduate who resorted to illegal mining [galamsey] due to financial constraints to further his education.
Koomson attended Mpohor Senior High School and had 5As and 3Bs in the 2021 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), but could not immediately further his education due to financial constraints.
In a post on Twitter GNPC said the pathetic story of Koomson caught their attention when it went viral.
The post added that, Koomson was invited together with his guardians to meet officials of GNPC where he was told the good news.
According to GNPC, it will work together with other stakeholders to ensure that Koomson gets admission to study law at the University of Ghana next year.
