She reminded the pupils of the values that shape our country, which include discipline, accountability, patriotism, nationalism, loyalty, respect for others, etc.

Mrs. Lucille Hewlett Annan reiterated that the 1992 Constitution is the fundamental law of Ghana and hence all Ghanaians and persons living in Ghana are required to follow and abide by it.
