The chief of the Kecheibi Asuoja community, Nana Sei Ngbanpoan, told the Ghana News Agency in an interview that the contractor's actions surprised them. He said:

We gave everything we had to help him deliver on time, but they left without any recourse

According to the chief, the project had been shelved, and all attempts to bring him back had been in vain. He saw that the structure had fallen after a downpour, a sign of poor construction.

In his lamentation, the chief pleaded with the minister to take quick action to resolve their situation.

According to Mr Benjamin Kwaku Alhassan, the principal of Kecheibi Asuoja Primary School, the students would continue attending classes outside beneath trees, providing difficulties and uncertain weather during this rainy season.
