Birifoh SHS: Contractor promises early completion of GH¢11m dining hall

Solomon Adombiiri Ameabuno, contractor, promises early completion of the GH¢11 million dining hall at Birifoh Senior High School. Bede A. Ziedeng, Member of Parliament for the Lawra Constituency, lauded the impressive progress of the new multipurpose dining hall complex, designed with a 2,500-seat capacity and a modern attached kitchen, one month after the official sod-cutting ceremony.

Bede Ziedeng stated he is incredibly pleased with the work rate of the contractors on site, noting that the dining hall project initially faced setbacks due to a "very difficult ground" consisting of solid rock, but the contractor quickly mobilised machinery to break through the terrain. He remarked, "He's been able to do that, and work is now progressing very, very fast. I have no doubt at all in my mind that this work will be finished long before schedule." Solomon Adombiiri Ameabuno of Solodom Construction Limited confirmed the MP's optimism, revealing that the work is already at an estimated 20% completion. He detailed that his team has successfully executed the excavation, erected starter columns, and finalised the concrete works for the foundation, with blockwork set to commence shortly. He is currently relying on his own funds to push the project forward, as GETFund requires contractors to build to a certifiable level before issuing payments. He praised the local traditional leadership for their support, noting that the chief provided water tanks for the site and has raised the daily wage for community labourers to 100 cedis.

Mr. Ameabuno is confident that the 2,500-capacity dining hall will be roofed in a matter of months and fully handed over well before the one-year contractual deadline.
