Abunyanya (O/R), May 11, GNA-Mr Alhassan Abubakari, Assembly Member of the Abunyanya Electoral Area in the Nkwanta North District of the Oti Region, has commissioned a new community library to strengthen education and improve learning outcomes in the area.
The facility, developed in partnership with Community Action Ghana, is expected to provide pupils and teachers with access to books and other learning materials in a conducive environment.
The project is also aimed at promoting reading habits among students and supporting teachers to deliver quality instruction.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Mr Abubakari said education remained his top priority.
He stressed that investment in educational infrastructure was critical to improving academic performance and expanding opportunities for children in the electoral area.
“It is a space where our children can read, learn and broaden their knowledge beyond their immediate environment,” he stated.
He pledged to continue pursuing initiatives that would improve learning conditions across Abunyanya and surrounding communities.
Mr Abubakari disclosed that plans were far advanced for the construction of a new toilet facility, while efforts were also underway to provide solar lighting and a mechanised borehole for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) centre to improve sanitation, safety and access to water.
He expressed appreciation to the Ghana Education Service (GES), traditional authorities, teachers, parents and other stakeholders for their support and cooperation towards the successful completion of the project.
The Assembly Member described the library as the first of several development initiatives planned for the electoral area.
Community members and students welcomed the facility and described it as a timely intervention that would support private study, broaden access to information and help nurture a stronger reading culture among learners.
They expressed optimism that the library would contribute to improved academic performance and help build a brighter future for children in the community.
