Akufo-Addo in his last address announced the distribution of face masks, Veronica buckets, hand sanitisers, among other PPEs to schools across the country to help protect teachers, non-teaching staff as well as students who are currently in school to complete their academic year.

He also announced that his government has absorbed the WASSCE fees for all final year Senior High School (SHS) students who are about to write the 2020 WASSCE.
