Haruna Iddrisu Fulfils Pledge, Pays GHC188,000 Tuition for Medical Students in Honor of Late Murtala Mohammed
In a remarkable act of generosity and commitment to education, Minority Leader in Parliament, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, has fulfilled a pledge he made to support the academic journey of medical students. He has paid a total of GHC188,000 in tuition fees for beneficiaries, a gesture he dedicated to the memory of his late colleague and friend, Alhaji Murtala Mohammed.
The payment, which covers the tuition of several medical students, stands as a testament to Haruna Iddrisu’s longstanding advocacy for access to quality education and his belief in grooming the next generation of professionals. By honoring this pledge, he has not only lifted a financial burden from students and their families but also reinforced the values of service, mentorship, and compassion.
The tribute to Murtala Mohammed adds deeper meaning to the gesture. The late Murtala, remembered for his humility, activism, and service to the people, shared similar values of investing in human capital and empowering the youth. Honoring his memory through education ensures that his legacy continues to inspire and transform lives.
This benevolent act has drawn admiration from the student community, families of the beneficiaries, and the general public, who see it as a reflection of true leadership. It is a reminder that leaders can use their influence and resources to make a direct impact on society, especially in areas as critical as education and healthcare.
Haruna Iddrisu’s intervention will not only help these medical students complete their studies but also contribute to Ghana’s health sector in the years ahead, as they dedicate their knowledge and skills to saving lives.
