The Afigya-Kwabre District Assembly has signaled its readiness to complete a school block left abandoned over the years at Ejuratia.
Mr. Kwaku Oppong-Kyekyeku Kaakyire, the District Chief Executive (DCE), has asked that the consultants ? Architectural and Engineering Services Limited (AESL), provide the assembly with the project details to allow for immediate take over.
This was when he came across the abandoned structure during an inspection tour to acquaint himself with the progress of work on on-going projects in the area.
The DCE accompanied by members of the district project management team and reporters of the Ghana News Agency (GNA), said they could not allow state resources pumped into the classroom block to go down the drain.
The outstanding works involve fixing of doors and windows, plastering of the walls and painting and he said it was completely unacceptable that these should hold back the project and deny teachers and children classroom space for smooth teaching and learning.
The GNA had visited the district under STAR-Ghana?s sponsored media auditing and tracking of development projects, an initiative launched to put the spotlight on how government?s resources were helping to transform the lives of the people, particularly the rural population.
The goal is to aid transparency, promote accountability and good local governance.
Mr. Oppong-Kyekyeku said the assembly was not aware that there was any such project at Ejuratia until the visit and would want to know more about it.
He said it was on the account of this that they would consult the appropriate authorities to guide their actions.
Education development is a key priority of the assembly and that is why it would not spare any effort to improve quality and accessibility.
