The former deputy education minister handed over the edifice to Morklikpo village on Wednesday, April 7, 2021, during a short ceremony.
The edifice is expected to help in reducing the disturbing phenomena of schooling under trees within the constituency.
The six-unit classroom block handed to the river overbank community is one of some thirty primary schools under construction in very hard to reach communities “as we are determined to totally eliminate the phenomenon of schools-under-trees and end the unacceptable spectacle of children walking long distances to access education,” the North Tongu legislator stated in a Facebook post seen by YEN.com.gh.
“We will keep doing our best to remove all barriers to our children's fundamental right to quality education.
“I am grateful for the amazing reception,” he added.
The former deputy minister’s gesture generated loads of exciting reactions on his Facebook timeline and YEN.com.gh compiled a few.
