Since the Zongo Development Fund was established in 2018, it has promoted the development of infrastructure for many Zongos in the areas of education, health, sports, sanitation, drainage systems, roads, and water. It has also given many Zongos access to educational scholarships and given them entrepreneurial support.

Dr Bawumia reaffirmed the government's dedication to expanding educational access, stating that given the huge rise in Senior High School enrolment due to the Free SHS policy, it is important for the government to expand access levels.

A library and offices are among the ancillary features of the freshly opened structure.

At the inaugural ceremony, Ursula Owusu Akurful, the local MP and Minister of Communications and Digitalization expressed her satisfaction that the facility had been constructed and put into use.
