The main speaker for the programme was Mr. Awudu Osman, Chief Inspector of the District Police Service. During his delivery, he echoed the sub-theme for the celebration as; “Children Let’s Build Ghana Together.” By this, he enumerated to the pupils and the teachers, the various duties of a citizen as stipulated in chapter 6, article 41 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.

He encouraged them to continuously adhere to good sanitation practices and protect state properties, especially during this rainy season.
