Kenyasi No.1 Omanhene funds and commissions new classroom block for Roman Catholic JHS

Nana Osei Kofi Abiri, the Omanhene of the Kenyasi No.1 Traditional Area, fully funded, commissioned, and handed over an ultra-modern three-unit classroom block equipped with administrative offices and storage facilities for the Kenyasi No.1 Roman Catholic Junior High School (JHS). The school's previous infrastructure was characterized by weak roofing, cracked walls, broken window frames, and severely damaged floors, turning daily teaching and learning into a safety risk. The headteacher, Samuel Boadi, revealed that the threat of structural failure was so severe that teachers conducted lessons under constant anxiety for their safety, a situation that negatively affected teaching and learning outcomes.

During the commissioning ceremony, Mr. Boadi expressed profound gratitude to the Paramount Chief for his timely intervention, noting that the new facility has significantly improved the safety and comfort of both students and staff. The project aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure). The District Director of Education for Asutifi North, Naomi Asantewaa, thanked Nana Osei Kofi Abiri for his unwavering commitment to education in the area, adding that the Education Directorate would intensify instructional supervision to ensure that academic performance improves.
