In pursuance of its objective to improve upon access to quality education and basic health care, the Builsa North Assembly had completed and handed over four projects to beneficiary communities in the district. The projects with funding from the GETfund and the District Development Facility (DDF) involve the construction of a 1No 6-Unit Classroom block with ancillary facilities for Sandema Preparatory Junior High School and a CHP Compound for the people of Yipala and Chuchuliga. The rest include the construction of a 1No 3 Unit classroom accommodation for Achog-yeri and a CHP Compound for Zundema and Siniensi communities. At a separate function to commission the said project, the District Chief Executive, Bonaventure Adangabey, emphasise the assembly’s determination to propel the development process of the district on a high pedestal. He observed that the district was lagging behind in terms of development, therefore efforts would be intensified to enhance its basic infrastructure deficit at all levels.  He said his main priority was to serve and ensure the wellbeing of the people and pledged to continue with efforts by his predecessors. At the end of the tour of the facilities, Mr Adangabey, was impressed with the level of work executed by the various contractors and urged the beneficiary communities to take ownership by ensuring their lifespan. At a ground breaking ceremony to mark the commencement of a school project for Sandema Preparatory school at Awusuyeri, the DCE appealed to the contractor in charge to speed up the building process and make sure the project is executed on schedule. The project is expected to cost GHc 295,000. He also charged the contractor to engage members of the community in its work. The District Director of Education, Mr Bernard Akara, for his part showed gratitude to the assembly for the gesture and impress on them to double their effort in addressing the numerous challenges affecting the delivery of quality education in the district. Encroachment of school lands, he decried, posed a serious threat to education in that area and urged the assembly and affected school heads to act on the matter. The DCE was accompanied by the District Finance Officer, Lawrence Webadoa and the District Coordinating Director among other functionaries.
