The actor emphasized that the policy’s positive impact on family finances resonated with him very much, also that the policy meant that education would be accessible to all.
The reason I supported the NPP was because of the Free SHS policy. Since implementing this policy, I have actually been able to save and use money that would otherwise have gone towards paying for tuition and other educational materials. I did not support the NPP for any reason other than that. he said

Praising the government for the strides it has made in education, Hut he also expressed his concerns about the current state of the economy.
