Nkwanta (O/R), Sept 19, GNA- Mr Felix Owusu-Gyimah, the Nkwanta South Municipal Chief Executive, has handed over 717 dual desks to the Municipal Education Directorate.
He said the donation formed part of the government’s efforts to make education accessible to all school-going children in the Municipality.
