During Mfantsipim School’s sesquicentennial celebration on Saturday, 14 November, Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu announced that the government would provide a 66‑seater bus to the school before 1 January 2027. The pledge was made on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama and the Ghanaian government in response to the school’s milestone.
Iddrisu addressed the assembly, specifically assuring the senior prefect that the vehicle would be delivered within the stated timeframe. “I want to assure the senior school prefect that, for and on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama and the government of Ghana, on or before 1st January, I will deliver a 66‑seater bus to Mfantsipim School as part of your 150th anniversary celebration,” he said.
The promise is part of the government’s recognition of Mfantsipim’s longstanding contribution to education and national development. Founded in 1876, the school has produced generations of professionals and leaders who have shaped Ghana’s history.
The announcement was one of the highlights of the durbar, which gathered government officials, traditional leaders, education stakeholders, alumni, staff, students and other well‑wishers to commemorate 150 years of the institution’s existence.
What follows is the delivery of the bus, expected before the new year, and the continued celebration of the school’s legacy.
