Haruna Iddrisu to support 47 medical students in honour of late Murtala Mohammed
Haruna Iddrisu’s gesture is in honour of Murtala’s enduring legacy of investing in human capital and supporting young people to achieve their dreams.
The Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu, has pledged to take full responsibility for the education and welfare of 47 medical students previously supported by the late Dr. Murtala Mohammed, MP for Tamale Central and Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation.
The announcement was made on August 12 through the Haruna Institute’s official Facebook page.
According to the statement, Haruna Iddrisu’s gesture is in honour of Murtala’s enduring legacy of investing in human capital and supporting young people to achieve their dreams.
The post read: “Hon Haruna Iddrisu pledged to support the 47 medical students taken care of by Comrade Murtala till they complete in honour of Murtala’s legacy.”
The commitment has since drawn widespread praise online, with many describing it as a touching continuation of Murtala’s vision and dedication to education.
Dr Murtala Mohammed died alongside seven others when a Ghana Armed Forces Z-9 helicopter crashed in the Adansi Akrofuom District of the Ashanti Region on August 6 while en route to Obuasi.
