Savelugu SHS students praised President John Mahama for the addition of hard-boiled eggs to the school dining hall menuWaakye with eggs has been introduced to schools across Ghana, with the presidency improving student meals and welfareGhanaians reacted to the trending video with mixed comments, with some debating the impact of the government’s policies
Students of Savelugu Senior School, Ghana, have hailed and praised President John Dramani Mahama for reportedly adding hard-boiled eggs to the school’s menu.
In a video trending on social media, some students were so excited and overwhelmed after they found out one of Ghana’s staples, hard-boiled eggs, were added to their dining hall food.
The video showed the young students smiling and laughing with joy as they praised the President, John Mahama, while walking around the school’s premises with the food in their hands.
This is coming after the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government introduced various programs to improve the nation’s education and its school facilities.
These included school feeding programs, infrastructure development, and policies aimed at enhancing students’ welfare.
The video of the students celebrating having eggs on the menu is below:
SHS students thrilled with waakye and eggs
YEN.com.gh had confirmed that other students from various schools all over the country had also heaped praises on the president because their feeding menu had improved as well.
In another video dated a few months ago, some Senior High School students expressed their gratitude to President Mahama for the positive changes they are experiencing in the school.
In the video, they were served the popular dish Waakye with eggs at the dining hall, which was reportedly the first time this has been offered since they enrolled in the school.
According to them, the delicacy was introduced to their menu as soon as Mahama came into office.
“We had never had Waakye and eggs at the dining hall before, but when President John Mahama came, we started eating delicious Waakye with eggs,” said some students.
Waakye is a popular Ghanaian dish made from rice and beans. It is a favourite among many in the country.
It is known to be served with eggs, meat, or fish. For the students, having this dish in their school dining hall was a significant improvement.
Both instances suggested that the improvements were a result of Mahama’s policies.
