The Upper West Regional Editor of the Daily Graphic, Mr George Folley Quaye, has advised students to patronise the papers in the stable of the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL) to broaden their horizon.
That, he said, would not only inculcate in them the habit of reading but also improve their writing skills, keep them abreast of issues and make them responsible citizens in the future.
Mr Quaye gave the advice when he inaugurated the Junior Graphic Fan Club of the T. I. Ahmadiyya Junior High School (JHS) in Wa in the Upper West Region.
The executive are Yakubu Sheiba, President; Nifaabom David, Vice-President; Jamila Ibrahim, Secretary; Wmengu Frederick, Organiser, and Nwadei Barata, Treasurer.
Mr Abubakar A. Saffique, a teacher of the school, is the patron of the club..
He admonished them against the patronage of newspapers which contained nude pictures and sex related articles, since they were not good for their academic and moral advancement.
He also told them to spread the message about the Junior Graphic Fan Club to their peers so that they would also read the Junior Graphic regularly “in order to benefit from its educative content”.
The Headmaster of the school, Mr Mahmud Bin Salih, was happy that the school had been selected among those which would benefit from the Junior Graphic Fan Club concept.
However, he expressed concern over the inability of some students to buy copies of the newspaper due to financial constraints but added that the PTA of the school was working out plans to widen the scope of distribution to students.
Mr Bin Salih expressed appreciation to the staff and management of the GCGL for the opportunity and encouraged his students to regularly write articles for publication in the paper.
A quiz between the boys and girls of the school was won by the boys group.
