Story: Benjamin Xornam Glover, Obo
THE Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Kwadwo Affram Asiedu, has donated 100 bags of cement towards the construction of an Engineering and Community Science Department of the Presbyterian University at Obo in the Kwahu South District.
The donation of the cement, worth GH¢900, was in fulfilment of a promise the minister made to the chiefs and people of Obo at a fund-raising ceremony organised by citizens of the area in Accra, last year.
The product would be used to construct a GH¢500,000 12-unit classroom block with two offices and two stores, to accommodate pupils of the Presbyterian ‘A’ and ‘B’ Primary School at Obo.
The project would facilitate the relocation of the pupils from their present classrooms, which are close to one of the main campuses of the university at Obo, where two faculties of the university will be constructed.
Presenting the items, Mr Asiedu said since education was important to the development of a community, he as a citizen, decided to contribute his quota towards educational uplift in the area.
He promised to donate more items in the future.
The Obohene, Nana Yeboah Afari Boadjan, who received the items, thanked the regional minister for honouring his promise, and implored other well-to-do individuals and organisations, especially the various political parties, to assist in the construction of facilities for the university.
He said that would enable people from all walks of life, irrespective of their political affiliations, to have access to university education in the area.
