Adaklu DCE cuts sod for classroom blocks and teachers' bungalows in six communities

Jerry Yaw Ameko, District Chief Executive for Adaklu District, cut sod for the construction of classroom blocks and teachers' accommodation for six basic schools in the district. The project involves the construction of three-unit classroom blocks with offices and staff common rooms, as well as six-unit teachers' bungalows complete with bedrooms, toilets and bathrooms, store rooms, car parks, water and electricity facilities, and fencing for each beneficiary school. The beneficiary communities are Adaklu Kodzobi, Adaklu Sikama, Adaklu Dawanu, Adaklu Kpodzi, Adaklu Akatsixoe and Adaklu Wayanu.

According to Mr. Ameko, the classroom blocks will help address infrastructure challenges confronting schools in the area, while the teachers' bungalows are expected to encourage teachers to accept postings and remain in the communities. Mr. Ameko said that the project is being funded through collaboration between the District Assembly and the Member of Parliament for the area and Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, with support from GETFund. The Chief of Adaklu Kodzobi, Togbe Dzegblade IV, expressed gratitude to the Assembly for the intervention, describing the project as timely and beneficial to both teachers and pupils in the area.

The contractor is expected to mobilise to site within 14 days, with the project scheduled for completion within 12 months. Mr. Ameko assured residents that the Assembly would not compromise on quality, warning contractors against shoddy work.
