NCCE CECs VISIT THE NSUTA POLICE STATION AND GHANA AMBULANCE SERVICE

The Sekyere Central District Director of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Mr. Gordon Yeboah Opoku and his team have led four Civic Education Clubs (CECs) to the Nsuta Police Station and the Ghana Ambulance Service (GAS) at Nsuta in the Sekyere Central District of the Ashanti Region. The CECs included the SDA Junior High School - Nsuta, DA Junior High School - Bonkrong, Oxford Brookes International School – Nsuta, and St. Peter's Junior High School - Nsuta. The visit by the CEC members was to familiarize themselves with the operations of these two institutions.

Through the acquaintance, Commander Doris Amewu, and the Chief Inspector, Peter Kwame Konlan, at GPS Sekyere Central District, briefed the pupils on their daily operations. They touched on how to be law-abiding citizens as it is their traditional role of maintaining law and order under Article 200 (3) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana and how cases are reported to the appropriate quarters within the police service. Additionally, they explained that the police are not only a ‘correction rod’ to wrongdoers in the country but a friend to all law-abiding citizens.

The Senior Emergency Medical Technician (SEMT), Mr. Joshua Kwasi Aggrey, and the Basic Emergency Medical Technician (BEMT), Akwasi Afrifa, at GAS, explained to the pupils their daily routine of how emergency cases are handled until they get to the referral health facilities. Also, the technicians taught the students some basic principles and tools used in handling emergency health cases.

The Principal Civic Education Officer (PCEO), Michael Ofori Benefor, the Senior Civic Education Officer (SCEO), Susana Biilaat Bokir, the Civic Education Officer (CEO), Samuel Heinz Tuffour-Bio and the Civic Education Officer (CEO), Georgina Amoako, accompanied the CECs.
