Dr Toni Aubynn (ex SIL), Human Resource Manager of the Aboso Goldfields Limited (AGL) on Thursday advised Ghanaians to stop spending lavishly on funerals and rather invest in their children’s education.
“Spending heavily on funerals at the expense of the child’s education is a dangerous practice,” Dr Aubynn said at the inauguration of the Huni Vally Students Union (HVSU) in the Western Region.
He said education is now paramount in the social, economic and political development of the nation and must not be allowed to suffer.
Dr Aubynn, a citizen of Damang in the Wasa West District and also the National President of the Huni Valley Secondary School Past Students Association noted that though the Western Region was endowed with large deposits of minerals, timber and food crops, it lacks good road network and telecommunication and urged the citizens to work hard and reverse the trend.
He charged the students to be agents of change by being tolerant, respectful and responsible in their relations in the community.
