Dorcas Affo-Toffey supports over 1,000 SHS freshers in Jomoro

Dorcas Affo-Toffey, a Member of Parliament representing Jomoro Constituency in the Western Region and Deputy Transport Minister, has extended scholarship assistance to over 1,000 Senior High School students in the constituency. This year, 2026, marks the sixth edition of the scholarship program, which began in 2021. The initiative, which started under Affo-Toffey's tenure as Deputy Transport Minister, has become a significant event on the political calendar in the region.

The scholarship program was held at Bonyere Junction and benefited students from 111 public and private schools across Jomoro. In addition to financial support, beneficiaries received essential school supplies such as trunks, mattresses, chop boxes, exercise books, mosquito nets, and sanitary pads for female students. Affo-Toffey emphasized that the program goes beyond providing financial assistance, describing it as an investment in the future of children in Jomoro and a way to ease the financial burden on parents and guardians.

Since its inception, Affo-Toffey has seen many beneficiaries from previous years successfully progress to tertiary education, which fuels her commitment to sustaining and expanding the program. She expressed gratitude to parents, guardians, traditional authorities, dignitaries, constituency executives, and other stakeholders for their support.

The MP reaffirmed her dedication to education and the development of young people in the constituency, emphasizing the importance of the children of Jomoro representing the future of the area.

The Jomoro Municipal Chief Executive, Benedict Boadi, praised Affo-Toffey for her consistent support of education in the municipality, attributing the growth of the education sector to her efforts. Boadi also declared October the "commissioning month" for the initiative, as several school buildings have been completed with the MP's support.
