Essikado (W\/R) Dec. 13, GNA \u2013 The construction of an ultra-modern conference centre by Prof Dr Grace Ayensu-Danquah, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Essikado-Ketan Constituency in the December 2020 elections, is near completion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prof Dr Ayensu-Danquah, in her campaign message for Election 2020, promised to construct the edifice to meet the social needs of Essikado and its environs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Grace Ayensu Danquah Multi-Functional edifice when completed, would comprise a pharmacy, dialysis center, conference center, speakers, projectors, screens, offices, shops, wheel chairs,kitchen,toilet facilities, an events center, a guest house and public space.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency at the\u00a0 Essikado Hospital Junction, Prof. Dr Ayensu-Danquah said she realised that Essikado, a major town in the constituency, had no first-class accommodation which could attract tourists to the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said the town lacked a pharmacy to augment the hospital since it did not carry all the medicines, hence, patients had to travel to Sekondi or Takoradi to buy prescribed medications.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Prof Dr Ayensu-Danquah, as a native and a queen mother from the royal family, the project formed part of the Community Development Agenda to change the face of Essikado.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said the edifice comes after a mechanized borehole she constructed for the Essikado community to find solution to the acute water supply in Essikado and its environs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to her, since Essikado has no proper place for events, the road was usually blocked for social events, but the edifice would now serve as an event center.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prof Dr Ayensu-Danquah added that people from Essikado and communities in the catchment area who attend the hospital, could congregate at the center and relax.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 2020 NDC Parliamentary Candidate told the GNA that she had pitched developmental projects in many of the towns and villages in the constituency.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She mentioned the Mpintsin road, which she started before the NPP government came in to continue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prof Dr Ayensu-Danquah also mentioned completed projects initiated by her office such as the Kansaworodo Health Care Center, the Nkroful Station Taxi shed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rest are two wells for Ketan covered with culverts as the water was becoming contaminated and the Twabew Methodist lorry road rehabilitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prof Dr Ayensu-Danquah said she has dispatched medical care to all the communities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She reminded the people that she was aware of all the needs of each community in the constituency and had prioritized their needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prof Dr. Ayensu-Danquah asked the people to pray for her to continue with the development in the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Prof Dr. Ayensu-Danquah, the ground and first floor of the Essikado Social Centre were expected to be completed by Christmas of 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n
