\nDevelopment, Joe Ghartey, has revealed that his ministry has finished
\nrehabilitating the Railway Training School located at Essikado in the Western
\nRegion.<\/p>\n
The Akufo-Addo government has
\nworked tirelessly to transform the defunct Railway Training School into a world-class
\ntechnical training institute as part of efforts to revamp the railway sector.<\/p>\n
The training school was
\nrevived\u00a0in collaboration with the University of Mines and Technology
\n(UMaT) at Tarkwa.<\/p>\n
The hitherto active training
\ninstitute currently has enough facilities for the running of tertiary courses
\nto train technical personnel for industry, academia and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n
Speaking at this year\u2019s celebration
\nof Kundum Festival of the chiefs and people of Essikado, Joe Ghartey, who is
\nalso the Member of Parliament for the area, disclosed that the school is ready
\nto admit students. He stated that UMaT would soon complete its \u2018intellectual\u2019
\nwork for the institute to take off.<\/p>\n
He said railways development in the
\ncountry started at Essikado-Ketan and was excited that the once active training
\nschool had been revived eventually.<\/p>\n
Nana Kobina Nketia V, Paramount
\nChief of Essikado Traditional Area, bemoaned the much chieftaincy litigation in
\nthe region which remains unresolved.<\/p>\n
He regretted that in recent times, these disputes had degenerated into bloody conflicts
\nand chaos. He condemned the recent attack on the Paramount Chief of Lower
\nDixcove Traditional Area, Nana Kwasi Agyemang IX.<\/p>\n
The Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, said the time and resources
\nwasted on litigation could easily be channelled into more productive ventures
\nfor the benefit of majority of the people.<\/p>\n
He\u00a0advised the chiefs and
\nother opinion leaders in the traditional area to initiate support for
\ndevelopmental projects that would improve the socio-economic fortunes of the
\npeople.<\/p>\n
Kundum is an annual festival
\ncelebrated by the Ahanta ethnic group. It commences in Sekondi\u00a0in the
\nWestern Region\u00a0every August and ends in Cote d\u2019Ivoire in December.<\/p>\n
They use the period for
\nreconciliation, by settling family and community disputes, including the
\ninitiation of developmental projects.<\/p>\n
