The projects, which include a three-unit classroom block with a staff common room and headteacher’s office at Abofour Old Town New Life Basic School and a 20-seater WC toilet facility in the community, are aimed at improving educational infrastructure and sanitation.
The commissioning ceremony attracted traditional leaders, opinion leaders, school authorities, students and residents of Abofour Old Town and beyond.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Isaac Yaw Opoku said the projects form part of his broader development agenda for Offinso South, with education and sanitation as key priorities.
