Nkwateng (E/R), July 16, GNA – The Birim North
District Chief Executive, Mr Raymond Damptey has cut the sod to commence the
construction of a three unit classroom block for the Nkwateng Seventh Day
Adventist (SDA) Basic School.
The Project consist of an office, a store,
teachers’ staff common room, library and a four unit vault chamber with a
urinal.
The Project, expected to be completed in five
months, would support other infrastructure in the school to benefit a student
population of 400, from the kindergarten to the Junior High School and staff of
18.
The Nkwatenghene, Nana Amane Ankrah II, in an
interview, assured the contractor of the community’s commitment to support him
to deliver on schedule.
In another development, the DCE has embarked
on an inspection of projects initiated under his watch and others started by
his predecessor which are being continued.
The projects inspected included, a police post
located at Noyem-Akoase which was 90 percent complete as well as a six unit
classroom block for the Sakapia D/A Basic School which was at the roofing
level.
Other projects are, a five apartment storey
Teachers quarters located at Hweakwae and another five apartment storey
quarters at Adausena, which was started by his predecessor, but was being
continued by his administration and when completed, would help ease
accommodation of teachers posted into those communities.
The rest of the projects were three borehole
facilities for Akoase St Michael School, Pankase and Obuobetwao communities.
The Mamaso, Amoah and Ntronang communities
were also benefiting from toilet facilities, whiles 11 communities were to be
hooked to the national grid by the close of the year.
Speaking to the media, the DCE said the police
post would serve residents and commuters who in recent times were in fears due
to armed robbery attacks.
He said the assembly, last year, embarked on
various projects in education, health, energy and sanitation to change the
fortunes and raise the standard of living of the people in the area.
He expressed his desire to continue working
hard to provide the people with the basic social amenities that would help
improve their lives.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Abirem
Constituency, Mr John Osei Frimpong said the 120 kilometers road stretch from Nkawkaw
to Akim Oda is part of roads earmarked by government for construct on through a
loan facility.
