Jirapa MP honors educators with motorbikes and appliances; promises awards for health workers
Cletus Seidu Dapilah, Member of Parliament for the Jirapa Constituency, held the maiden Teachers Awards Scheme on March 10, 2026, at the Naa Yelpoe II Park. He simultaneously handed over a logistical support package to the Jirapa Health Service. The grand ceremony distributed an Apsonic motorbike, 20 fridges, and 12 televisions to 22 educational workers.
Cletus Seidu Dapilah drew on his personal journey as a former acting headteacher in the remote village of Kusali to challenge newly posted teachers, advising, "Don’t go round worrying big men that this is where I want to serve. Wherever your services are needed, please go and serve." He presented a support package to the local health directorate, including three Apsonic motorbikes, 60 gallons of fuel, five laptops, two air conditioners, two cabinets, and two stabilisers. Municipal Education Director Mr. Hudu Abdul Kadi Kunateh lauded the awards as an essential act of “external motivation”. The Paramount Chief of the Jirapa Traditional Area, Naa Dinaa Donglobong Ganaa III, described the teacher as the “silent architect of every profession”. Nifatom Ernestina was crowned the Overall Best Teacher at the Basic Level, taking home an Apsonic motorbike, a 32-inch television, and a refrigerator. Mr. Bageliku Z. Fedinan took home the Best Municipal Education Officer award.
