Foreign Affairs Minister, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has pledged to provide a dedicated bus for his alma mater Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC-Legon) as a special Christmas gift.

In a video shared on X, the Minister said the bus would be funded from his personal resources and would be dedicated to the research, science and maths quiz team to support their movement during the competitions.

“So I will present you with the bus, which will be my personal contribution,” he said.

Beyond the bus, Ablakwa also offered to sponsor a special holiday for the students and their accompanying teachers following their participation in the rigorous competition.

He, however, left the choice of destination to the students, saying they could decide whether they wanted a local holiday or a trip abroad.

“I am willing to sponsor a special holiday for the students and their accommodators. But you decide the destination,” he said.

Explaining his decision, the Minister said he did not want to be accused of favouring particular countries or failing to promote local tourism in his capacity as Foreign Affairs Minister.

He encouraged the students to choose a destination they would enjoy and promised to ensure they had a memorable break after the competition.
