The Member of Parliament for Madina Constituency, Lawyer Francis Xavier Sosu together with Madina District Directorate of the NCCE has sensitised basic schools in the municipality to mark the Annual Citizenship Week celebration.

About 500 pupils were taken through the 1992 Constitution, duties of a citizen, national cohesion and how to  contribute to the peace and stability of the country.

Speaking at the celebration, Lawyer Francis Sosu urged the pupils to always stand firm and defend the Constitution in every situation.

He urged them to take up leadership roles, when given the opportunity, and eschew social vices that society frowned upon.

The MP emphasised the need to reorient positive attitudes in children by making them understand their roles in the maintenance of peace and stability, and in national development.

He urged the pupils to be truthful and  accountable, especially when they were given leadership roles, since indiscipline, moral and social decadence, and division caused by intolerance could erode Ghana’s unity as a country.

He reminded the pupils of their responsibilities as agents of change and future leaders, thus the need for them to adhere to the Ghanaian values.
