Ve-Golokwati (V/R), Sept 11, GNA – The installation of a free public Wi-Fi service for educational purposes is underway at the Ve-Golokwati Police Station in the Afadzato South District of the Volta Region.
The initiative of the District Chief Executive (DCE) is aimed at improving access to internet connectivity, particularly for students, teachers, and residents who depend on online resources for education, research and other productive activities.
Mr Ibrahim Mumuni, an IT Engineer working on the installation, said the initiative began as a pilot project in August 2026, covering three communities; Have, Leklebi Agbesia and Ve-Golokwati.
He said the responses from residents during the pilot phase were encouraging, leading to plans to extend the Wi-Fi signal to more communities across the district.
According to him, the expansion is expected to provide more residents with access to digital resources and create opportunities for learning and research.
Mr Mumuni indicated that the system was well-organised and programmed strictly for educational purposes and could not be used for unethical materials.
The installation at the Ve-Golokwati Police Station is expected to provide residents with a convenient point of access to free internet services once completed.
Mr Manfred Tawiah, the District Chief Executive of Afadzato South, expressed hope that the project would eventually cover every community in the district.
Mr Tawiah said expanding access to free internet connectivity would contribute significantly to improving education, digital inclusion and the socio-economic development of Afadzato South.
The project is therefore expected to play an important role in bridging the digital divide and empowering young people and residents with greater access to information and educational opportunities.
