The Gbenebisi basic school and the Tumu Midwifery Training College will soon get a 3-unit classroom block each. This is because the Sissala East Municipal Assembly, yesterday, December 5, 2021 handed-over sites for the construction of the projects. They are funded by the District Development Fund(DDF).
Ghacem House and SanKarim enterprises were awarded the Tumu Midwifery Training Collge’s 3-unit classroom and Gbenebisi’s 3-unit classroom projects respectively.
Speaking during a survey of the sites, the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Fuseini Yakubu Batong tasked the contractors to complete the projects within a 6-month period to help reduce the infrastructure deficit the schools are being faced with.
“We are here today to hand over a site to the contractor to build a 3-unit classroom block for the College. I want to entreat the contractors to complete the tasks within the 6-month duration, because the population of the Midwifery College, in particular, is more than the infrastructure the school has”, he said.
Mr. Fuseini Yakubu Batong entreated the schools to support and cooperate with the contractors when work commences.
The Principal of the College, Madam Lardy Kanton has expressed her excitement and said ” this is the reality that the much-anticipated project is to begin now”.
She has also expressed her gratitude to the Member of Parliament, Hon. Issahaku Amidu Chinnia and the Municipal Assembly for the project. Madam Lardy Kanton said she together with her staff is ready to collaborate and support the contractor to execute the project.
But she has appealed to the MP to keep bringing more infrastructure projects to completely tackle the infrastructure needs of the College.
Meanwhile, speaking at a short durbar in Gbenebisi Mr. Issahaku Chinnia said he was there to redeem the pledge he made to the people following a passionate appeal from them before the 2020 general elections.
Also, he said last year, in December he drilled and handed over to the community a borehole following appeals from the residents.
The MP gave the assurance to the headteacher and his staff to provide them with a solar panel and television soon. On behalf of the Municipal Education Directorate, the Deputy Municipal Director in Charge of Administration and Finance, Godfred Baveru Kanton extended his gratitude to the MP and Assembly for the intervention, stating that “our excitement cannot be quantified because we know in the next 6 months our children would not be battling with chasing sheds around, would be free from rain beating them and would be free from the hazardous wind and weather conditions they face daily, because we are going to have another set of the 3-unit classroom here”.
He however appealed to the MP that 5 more additional classrooms are needed to eliminate classes under trees in the school.
Gbenebisi basic school currently has only three classrooms, which has compelled about 8 classes; Kindergarten 1 to Primary 6 studying under trees and sheds.
The farming community is yet to be connected to the national grid.
