Nnuaso (Ash), March 25, GNA – The chiefs and people of Nnuaso in the Bosomtwe district of Ashanti, have called for urgent support from the government and benevolent organisations to help complete some development projects in the community.
The projects are an uncompleted Junior High School block, modern toilet facility, and a community centre.
Nana Obiri Yeboah, the Chief of Nnuaso, speaking to journalists ahead of the upcoming homecoming event in the community, said there was an urgent need to complete the stalled JHS block, which was also expected to serve as a Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) centre for the area.
He said the project, if completed and properly equipped, would significantly enhance teaching and learning, while enabling final-year pupils to write their BECE within the community instead of traveling long distances to other towns.
He said the current state of the unroofed structure continued to impede academic progress and affected morale of both the pupils and teachers.
The appeal also highlighted the need to complete an ultra-modern toilet facility, which was currently about 70 per cent complete.
The facility, when finished, is expected to greatly improve sanitation and promote public health within the community.
In addition, the Chief, together with his elders, outlined plans to construct a community centre to serve as a hub for social gatherings, meetings, and local development initiatives.
They stressed that such a facility would play a vital role in strengthening community cohesion and supporting grassroots development efforts.
Nana Oyoko Fosuaa Nyamekye, the queen of the town, drew attention to the deplorable condition of the road network linking Abidjan Nkwanta to Nnuaso and its surrounding communities.
She described the road as a major barrier to economic growth and access to essential services and appealed to the government to prioritise its rehabilitation.
Nana Nyamekye called on indigenes both at home and abroad, to actively support the initiative, adding that, the homecoming event was not only a time for reunion, but also a strategic platform to mobilize resources towards the completion of ongoing projects and the commencement of new ones.
