The Education Minister Minister, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu has fulfilled his pledge by presenting 188,000 Ghana Cedis to 47 medical Students under scholarship program of the late MP for Tamale Central, Alhaj Dr. Murtala Ibrahim Mohammed.
This comes after the Tamale South Legislator during the performance of the Funeral rites of the late MP, publicly announced to absorb the fees of all the 47 students studying medicine across Tertiary Institutions in Ghana under the benevolence of the late Minister of State following an appeal made by the beneficiaries having decried a void after his demise.

During the presentation, Mr. Ganiu Sandoow indicated that the payment was done by Hon. Haruna Iddrisu aimed at eulogizing, commemorating the memories of the Hon. Murtala as well as completing the legacy of the departed venerable MP, who prioritized education of people in his Constituency.
