Wa East MP, DCE commission classroom block for Manwe JHS, pledge road repairs
Dr. Godfred Seidu Jasaw, Member of Parliament for Wa East, and Adamu Sayibu, District Chief Executive, commissioned a newly constructed 3-unit classroom block for Manwe Junior High School and pledged to tackle critical road challenges in the district. Dr. Jassaw said, "I'm very excited today that we've been able to deliver this school to the people of Manwe." He also said, "This school was actually a promise that we gave to the Manwe Naa and his chiefs. That if we come into government, the Naa instructed that the first school we should build to respond to the challenges of school infrastructure should be in Manwe."
Dr. Jassaw praised Eza Construction Limited for completing the work in four months against an eight-month schedule. He also announced a GH₵75,000 donation from his share of the MP's Common Fund to support emergency road repairs and fuel grader machines under the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP). He listed Manwe-Buna Road, Yala-Kunyabin Road, and Yaro-Kpaanamona Road as priority roads for opening. Adamu Shayibu thanked the MP for the support and assured residents the funds would be used strictly for their intended purpose.
Adamu Shayibu said, "In fact, this support he has given to the Assembly will go a long way to help us do a lot of work. Our DRIP machines are in good shape. Our major challenge is how to fuel them." He also said, "Once this support has come, I want to assure him that immediately we start the mobilisation, we will put the machines on the roads to start opening up the roads that he has mentioned." The Manwe Traditional Council commended both leaders for their "unwavering commitment to the progress of Wa East district".
