President John Mahama has announced an initiative to support Muslim youth in their pursuit of higher education as Muslims across Ghana and the world celebrate Eid ul-Adha today, June 6, 2025.
The President has instructed the Director-General of the Scholarship Secretariat to develop a dedicated support program specifically for Muslim students seeking to study medicine, law, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and engineering.
The announcement was made during the Eid ul-Adha prayers held at the State House forecourt in Accra, an event attended by a host of dignitaries and devout Muslims.
A video snippet shared on GHOne TV’s X page on June 6, 2025, captured President Mahama, elegantly dressed, addressing the large congregation.
His address stressed the importance of education and the government’s commitment to ensuring equitable opportunities for all segments of the population.
“This initiative is to empower all segments of the population to propel national development,” he said.
This new scholarship program is expected to address historical disparities and empower Muslim students to excel in critical fields vital for national development.
The initiative was met with appreciation from the Muslim community, who welcomed the President’s commitment on this auspicious occasion.
Among those present were the National Chief Imam, Sheik Nuhu Sharabutu, former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, former Second Lady Samira Bawumia and other government officials.
