Earlier this week, Hon. Haruna Mohammed, Member of Parliament for Asunafo North, paid an official visit to Mim Senior High School (MISEC) — marking his fifth engagement with this distinguished institution. The visit was both symbolic and practical, aimed at reaffirming his commitment to education, youth development, and infrastructure improvement in the constituency.
Hon. Haruna was warmly received by the headmaster, staff, and enthusiastic students who expressed appreciation for his continued support. His visit reflected not just political duty but a deep personal dedication to the future of Asunafo North’s youth.
Fulfilling Promises and Supporting Recovery
Following the recent fire outbreak that affected parts of the school, Hon. Haruna teamed up with the NADMO Director to provide immediate relief. His donation included essential supplies, bottled water, and cash support to help the school recover quickly. The gesture, though compassionate, also underscored his proactive approach to leadership — addressing challenges head-on rather than waiting for others to act.
Investment in Learning and Student Welfare
During the visit, Hon. Haruna presented science laboratory equipment requested by the school authorities to enhance practical learning. He also donated a distillation plant to improve science experiments, GH¢5,000 in support of the SRC Week celebration, and facilitated GETFund scholarships for 25 deserving students. These initiatives, he emphasized, form part of his broader vision to equip students with the tools they need to excel academically and practically.
Driving Infrastructure and Development
Education, Hon. Haruna noted, thrives in an enabling environment. He revealed that he has already submitted a proposal for the construction of a 2-kilometer campus road, which is expected to commence next year. Additionally, he announced plans to develop a modern school park that will include volleyball and basketball courts, as well as provide table tennis equipment on his next visit. He also pledged to advocate for the construction of a modern auditorium, a long-awaited project to serve the school community and enhance extracurricular activities.
A Vision for Excellence
“My vision for MISEC is simple — to make it the best school in Asunafo North,” Hon. Haruna stated confidently. He reiterated his commitment to pushing for the school’s inclusion in the national STEM School Program, positioning MISEC as a model of innovation and academic excellence. He also acknowledged Hon. Collins Dauda, an old student of the school, as a proud representation of MISEC’s legacy and influence.
Leadership in Action
For Hon. Haruna, leadership is about results and responsiveness. “Leadership is not about waiting 50 years to make an impact — the time is now,” he remarked. His passion for education and youth empowerment remains unwavering, strengthened by the continued support of H.E. John Dramani Mahama, under whose vision the future of Ghanaian education continues to evolve.
Winning Hearts Beyond Politics
In a lighthearted moment, the Assistant Headmaster (Administration) made a candid comment: “If you complete the school roads, I’ll campaign for you, even as an NPP man.” The statement drew laughter, but it also highlighted a deeper truth — results transcend party lines. When leadership delivers, everyone benefits.
Conclusion
Hon. Haruna Mohammed’s visit to Mim Senior High School was more than a ceremonial gesture; it was a reaffirmation of action-driven leadership, community partnership, and a clear vision for educational transformation. With sustained collaboration, MISEC is poised to rise as a beacon of excellence in the Ahafo Region.
“Let’s keep building the future together.” — Hon. Haruna Mohammed
