Millennium Amanfoo, Prempeh College’s Class of 2000, marked a significant milestone on Friday, October 10, 2025, with the sod-cutting ceremony for their Legacy Project – the extension and rehabilitation of the school’s Canopy Walkway.
The Canopy Walkway is a network of walkways that enables students to comfortably and conveniently access the school’s main facilities without hindrance, regardless of adverse weather conditions.
Estimated to cost 1.5 million cedis (approximately $100,000), this project will especially benefit the Arthur Clark and Matthew Opoku Prempeh Houses, which currently do not have access to the existing walkway.
The Assistant Headmistress – Domestic, Mrs. Christine Ababio Trovel, expressed gratitude to Millennium Amanfoo for the project, underscoring its importance for movement on campus and prayed for its successful completion.
The Special Guest of Honour, Snr Akwasi Agyeibi Prempeh, grandson of the school’s Founder, Otumfuo Sir Osei Agyemang Prempeh II, emphasised the significance of giving back to the alma mater, drawing inspiration from the school’s founders and notable alumni.
He stressed the importance of everyone’s contribution to the project’s success.
“This walkway is more than just concrete; it is a pathway of continuity, connecting our proud past to an even brighter future,” he stated.
Snr Prempeh highlighted the legacy of selfless sacrifice that founded Prempeh College and encouraged others to follow suit. With that, he performed the sod-cutting, symbolising the project’s official commencement.
The Chairman of the Fundraising Committee, Snr Kofi Ntiamoah Frimpong, made a passionate appeal, calling on fellow alumni to generously support the project.
“Let us dig deep and let our financial resources help build the next J.A. Kuffour our nation will be proud of,” he urged.
The President of Millennium Amanfoo, Snr Roland Kwadwo Akomeah in his address, emphasised the importance of the Canopy Walkway Project, citing challenges overcome and determination to see it through.
He urged fellow alumni to support the initiative and appealed to corporate bodies, philanthropists and individuals to contribute to the project.
The contractor, Gridlines Investment, showed an artist’s impression of the project and assured timely delivery in December, just in time to climax the Group’s 25th anniversary.
The ceremony was hosted by Snr Yaw Adu-Gyamfi and attended by school authorities, students, contractors and members of Millennium Amanfoo. The next event on the calendar is the Homecoming in December, where the project is expected to be commissioned.
