B5 Plus Group, in partnership with DPS International School, has announced a full scholarship program for the children of the eight (8) Ghanaians who tragically lost their lives in the recent helicopter crash in a remarkable show of compassion and solidarity.
At a ceremony at the Office of the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah received the initiative on behalf of the Presidency, praising it as a symbol of private sector responsibility in nation-building.
The scholarship covers the entire education of two children from each bereaved family at DPS International School, Tema — one of Ghana’s most prestigious institutions — from basic level through to ‘A’ Level, including tuition, uniforms, and boarding where required.
Marietta Agyeiwaa Brew, Presidential Advisor on Legal and former Attorney-General, applauded the initiative, stressing the impact of investing in the future of these children.
She highlighted DPS’s excellence, noting its track record of producing outstanding graduates, including Oheneba Kwame Kyeretwie, son of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who is now pursuing Astronomy at Wesleyan University, USA.
This initiative, she said, will be greatly welcomed by the President, as it reflects the government’s vision of free, quality education for all.
The tragic incident occurred in the Adansi Akrofuom District of the Ashanti Region, killing senior government officials and security officers, including Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, Environment Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator Alhaji Limuna Muniru Mohammed, and NDC National Vice Chairman Dr. Samuel Sarpong.
The rest were Samuel Aboagye, Deputy NADMO Director-General; Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala; Flying Officer Manin Twum-Ampadu; and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.
