The project, which adds up to the 117 schools already owned by the Mission, was part of efforts aimed at bring holistic education to the door steps of people in Asuom and its environs.

Commission the project, Sheikh Dr Amin Bonsu, National Chairman of the GMM, said the Mission was very particular about the education and development of Muslims in the country, and found it necessary to put up the structure.

He said the project was part of the GMM’s efforts at complementing government’s effort in providing free, compulsory and quality basic education. “We are thankful to the Almighty Allah that today we are commissioning this school of the Ghana Muslim Mission, and we believe it would go a long way to help the society and the nation at large.”

Dr Bonsu appealed to the Ghana Education Service to modify the schools’ curricular, and introduce subjects or periods that would help program the minds of children to be loyal to their country when they grow.

He said: “We need to start training the children from the very basic level on how to remain loyal to the nation, so that as they grow and mature they would be conscious of their loyalty to the very nation that trained them up to be what they have become.

“Let us introduce a period in the school curricula to drill the children for them to learn to be patriotic and loyal to the country, and also to eschew all kinds of immorality especially corruption, which is gradually drifting the country from the development that it needs.”

He noted that with all the natural and human resource available to the country, it had been very difficult for the country to develop and be independent, because corruption has taken over our sense of reasoning.

He appealed to other well meaning Muslim organisations to join hands with the GMM to put up educational structures for the development of Muslim communities and the nation as a whole.

Dr Bonsu also appealed to the people in the community to adopt the culture of maintenance to ensure to keep the structure was in proper shape at all times, for it to achieve its intended purposes of bringing holistic education to their door step, and be united in all they did as a community.
