Hon. Glover highlighted the need for students to excel in their exams to progress academically and become successful professionals such as doctors, nurses, engineers, etc. Drawing from his own experiences, he recounted how his journey to becoming a minister was possible due to hard work and determination. He added that he had to do menial jobs like selling cooked eggs and shining shoes to support his education. He therefore urged the students to appreciate the government’s support in paying their school fees and to focus on their studies.

Furthermore, the minister encouraged the students to care for the trees they had planted, seeing it as their contribution to the community and the environment.

By planting millions of trees, the project seeks to increase the country’s forest cover, enhance biodiversity, and improve the overall quality of the environment for present and future generations.

Since its launch in 2021, the Green Ghana Project has received widespread support from various stakeholders, including government agencies, non-governmental organizations, businesses, and individuals across the country.

The event was graced by several notable figures, including the Greater Accra Regional Chief Director, Adentan Municipal Chief Executive Hon.
