The delegation, led by the National Executive Director of GNACOPS, Obenfo Nana Kwasi Gyetuah, was warmly received by the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin.
The students addressed the Speaker, urging him to use his influential position to promote peace in the lead-up to Ghana’s upcoming general elections.
They emphasized that a peaceful environment is essential for their future, and they expressed hope that the Speaker would continue to champion stability and unity across the country.
Following the students’ message, Obenfo Nana Kwasi Gyetuah, National Executive Director of GNACOPS, reinforced their call for peace. He highlighted the role of children as the nation’s future, stressing that their interests should be at the forefront in fostering a stable and peaceful society.

He praised the students’ enthusiasm and took the opportunity to urge their teachers to instill national pride and love for peace in the next generation.
