Sam Pyne, Kumasi Mayor commissioning the three classroom block at Abrepo MA Basic school

The Kumasi Metro Chief Executive, Hon Samuel Pyne has commissioned a three classroom block with new studying desks as well as electricity at the Abrepo MA Basic school.

The facility, constructed at a cost of GhC440, 000.00 from the internally generated funds (IGF) at the KMA would help to provide a better teaching atmosphere for the Junior High School pupils who were initially studying at a weak structure in the school.

Speaking at a brief handing over ceremony at the precincts of the cluster of schools, the Kumasi Mayor expressed the desire of the Assembly to consciously carry out development initiatives in the area of education.

“The KMA is consciously investing in education so that it could help to scale up positive outcomes in the performance of schools academically “, the Mayor stated.

“As you see the building here know that it has taken the KMA hours of collection of dues and tolls to ensure it uses it to put this up and so let us collectively and individually do our part by paying what’s due government so that we can see more projects and initiatives to benefit us as a people”, the Mayor stated.

Metro Director of Education:
