Adaklu Seva (V/R), Nov. 16 GNA – Mr. Governs Kwame Agbodza, Member of Parliament for Adaklu has appealed to the contractor working on the six-unit classroom block for the Adaklu Seva District Assembly Basic School, to expedite action on the project.
He noted that this would enable the school to move from its dilapidated classroom block to a decent teaching and learning environment.
Mr. Agbodza made the appeal through the Ghana News Agency on the sidelines of commissioning of a three-unit classroom block with a store and sanitary facilities for the school.
It was funded by Pencils of Promise (PoP), an educational Non-governmental Organization whilst Mr. Agbodza paid for the sand and chippings being the cost of 20 percent component of the cost of the project, which was to be provided by the community.
The community also provided free labour for the project, which was the 26th classroom blocks built by PoP in the Adaklu district.
The MP stated that the sod cutting for the construction of the six-unit classroom block was being funded by Ghana Education Trust Fund, was done in May this year and was to be completed in six months.
He noted that though the building had been roofed a lot of work needed to be done on it to make it inhabitable.
Mr. Agbodza therefore urged Papatsitsia Construction Limited, the contractor working on the project, to work hard to enable him to hand over the project before the end of the year.
He said he was working round the clock with other stakeholders to eliminate all schools under tree and dilapidated classrooms in his constituency.
Mr. Agbodza who is also the Minority Chief Whip in Parliament, reiterated the need for the people to invest their resources in their children’s education, saying “it remains the surest way to eliminate ignorance and poverry from society.”
“We do not have gold, cocoa, lithium, petroleum or timber in Adaklu so let us develop our human resources to the highest level for them to compete even at the international level so as to develop Adaklu to an enviable level” he intimated.
