Mr John Kwame Adu Jack, the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Dormaa Central Constituency has cut the sod for work to begin on the construction of a three-unit classroom block project for the Ahogono Basic School.
He said the construction of the block for the Junior High School (JHS) section followed an appeal by the chiefs and people during his Election 2016 campaign tour to the area.
At a short ceremony at Ahogono in the Bono Region, Mr Jack said the people made it clear to him that the community was in desperate need of a JHS block and promised to provide them with one.
He said Datwu Enterprise, a Dormaa-Ahenkro-based contractor, was executing the project to be completed within 18 months and cautioned the executor against shoddy work.
Mr Jack said he was funding the project with his share of the MP’s District Assembly Common Fund and urged the people to also monitor the execution of the project.
Mr Dominic Adomah Ameyaw, the Dormaa Central Municipal Chief Executive, said the Assembly would also construct a mechanisd borehole for the school and ensure that its students benefited from the school feeding programme.
He said the Assembly remained committed to bringing the development of the area to the next level, saying it would reshape the deplorable condition on the road in the area too.
Mr Ameyaw said presently the DRIP machines were working on the Pamu-Koraso road and would soon be moved to Ahantrase, Dormaa-Ahenkro, and then to also reshape the Ahogono road.
The Reverend Kingsley Dwamena Asante, the Dormaa Municipal Director of Education highlighted the importance of education and urged stakeholders to support and improve quality it’s in the area.
Mr George Adjei, the Dormaa Central Constituency Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, urged teachers in the area, to redouble their efforts to improve the academic performance of school children in the locality.
Mr Isaac Oppong, the Assembly Member for the Nsesreso/Ahogono/Benekwaakrom/Sukura Electoral Area, appealed for the extension of mobile telecommunication networks and potable drinking water to the area.
