Well-known actor Michael Blackson's school in Ghana will be open soon. Blackson has been planning the initiative for a long time.
Called the Michael Blackson Academy, it is located in Agona Nsaba and was inaugurated on January 3. Blackson also posted a few moments from the launch that featured all the activities that were held as a part of the event.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Blackson's net worth is estimated to be around $2 million. He has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years from his work in films and TV shows.
Blackson expressed his happiness about the opening of the school, and wrote that it was the greatest day of his life because he had accomplished his dream of giving the other kids a chance to progress in their lives.
"Greatness starts with education and foundational education shouldn't come with financial barriers," Blackson said.
A few days before the launch, he praised his fans for being a source of support all these years while he worked to achieve the dream. He said that he was satisfied since the children from his village could get free education.
The school has three storeys with classrooms and other facilities. Construction for the school began in 2020 and concluded by December last year.
