  "account": "Ablekuma North MP Ewurabena Aubynn has provided essential educational items to 500 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) graduates from her constituency. The gesture, a part of the MP's Back-to-School Initiative, was carried out in collaboration with the Awula Foundation. Each beneficiary received a mattress, trunk, blanket, and exercise books to help ease the financial burden on their parents and guardians as they prepare for senior high school. This second edition of the initiative represents a significant expansion from the initial 300 students who received support in 2025. During the presentation ceremony, Ms Aubynn expressed her confidence in the potential of the beneficiaries and their role as future leaders. She emphasized her commitment to supporting initiatives that enhance educational outcomes and create opportunities for young people in the constituency. The MP specifically highlighted the importance of supporting vulnerable girls to ensure their continued education. She aims to expand the initiative to support at least 1,000 students in future editions. This intervention is part of a series of education-focused initiatives undertaken by Ms Aubynn since taking office in July 2025. She has also supported schools and students in her constituency, including providing furniture to Wesley Grammar Senior High School. The Ablekuma North Municipal Assembly has documented her collaboration on education-related initiatives and infrastructure development. The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Ablekuma North, Musa Adamu Kalamu, praised the latest intervention as one of the most significant education-support initiatives seen in the municipality in over two decades.",
