The East Mamprusi District has benefited from seven school structures funded by different organizations at a total cost of GH¢336,000.
Mr. Imoro Adams, the District Chief Executive of the East Mamprusi District, announced this after commissioning some of the projects at Latari in the East Mamprusi District, at the weekend.
He said, at Timpela, a three-unit classroom block, a store and a urinary had been constructed under the District Wide Assistant Project (DWAP) of Canada at GH¢48,000.
Mr. Adams said similar projects had been constructed at Gwandabila and Latari under the same project and they were all aimed at improving the quality of education.
He said the Nalerigu Health Assistant Training School and the Gambaga Girls School had also benefited from similar projects with funding from the District Assembly Common Fund, adding that, the district intended extending its development projects.
The DCE said the Northern Region Poverty Reduction Programme had also assisted the district in its development by providing a three-unit classroom block at Nalerigu and Zantinga at the cost of GH¢96,000.
He said the intention of the district is to liaise with its development partners to bring the needed development to the area, adding that, more development projects would be undertaken soon.
All the school projects, he said, were started in 2009 and completed this year with some furnished by dual-desk furniture.
He, however, expressed concern that 24-unit office facility complex started by the previous NDC regime in 1999 had been abandoned and urged the government and development partners to assist to revamp such abandoned projects.
The DCE appealed to the people to take advantage of the school facilities provided to send their children to school.
Mr. Isaac Asare Addo, the East Mamprusi District Works Engineer, commended the government for its quest to develop the area and urged it to rehabilitate the Gambaga Police Barracks because it was in a deplorable state.
He said its renovation would boost the morale of the personnel and enhance their performance.
Mr. Addo said because of the abandoned projects, the GES was currently located and conducting official duties in a container structure, a situation, he explained, was an inconvenience.
