Gushegu (N/R), Sept. 07, GNA – Mr Hafiz Adam, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Gushegu, has handed over a number of completed development projects in the areas of education and health, to beneficiary communities in the municipality.
The projects included a long lecture hall block at the Gushegu Nursing and Midwifery Training College, a 3-unit classroom block at Dikpung and Katani, and a Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) Compound at Chempongyili.
Mr Adam, who was accompanied by senior staff of the Assembly and executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Gushegu Constituency, also inspected sites for the commencement of new projects, including school blocks and CHPS compounds at Nawuhugu and Namongbani.
At the Nursing and Midwifery Training College, the MCE officially handed over the lecture hall to the management and students, saying the facility would enhance teaching and learning, and help strengthen the training of health professionals for the municipality and beyond.
Mr Adam noted that the educational and health projects formed part of the Assembly’s broader agenda to expand infrastructure and improve access to quality services for the people of Gushegu.
He assured residents of the government’s commitment, under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, to reset the country and improve the lives of citizens, urging parents to prioritise the education of their children and make good use of the facilities provided.
Mr Adam reaffirmed his resolve to work with stakeholders to accelerate development in the municipality, stressing that by prioritising education and healthcare, the Assembly was making meaningful impacts on the lives of residents, particularly children and vulnerable groups.
Hajia Rabi Iddrisu, the Principal of the Gushegu Nursing and Midwifery Training College, expressed gratitude to the MCE and the Assembly for the intervention, saying the lecture hall would significantly ease congestion and a create conducive learning environment for trainers and trainees.
She said “This facility has come at the right time. It will go a long way to support us in producing more qualified nurses and midwives, who will serve not only Gushegu but the Northern Region and the country at large.”
She appealed for additional infrastructure, including hostel facilities and teaching aids, to meet the increasing enrolment at the college.
The chiefs and people of the beneficiary communities expressed appreciation to the MCE and government for the projects, describing them as timely interventions that would improve access to education and healthcare delivery.
