The report indicates that the Bono Regional Minister, Joseph Addae Akwaboa, has called on residents of the Tain District and the Bono Region at large to support President John Dramani Mahama’s administration as it pursues its development agenda.
It further notes that mr Akwaboa stated the government was committed to ensuring that public funds and taxpayers’ money were utilised effectively to improve the living standards of Ghanaians through infrastructure development.
He made the remarks during a two-day working tour of the Tain District as part of the district’s “Accounting to the People” programme, where he inspected and commissioned several development projects.
According to the minister, the level of infrastructure development achieved by the Mahama administration within its first one and a half years in office was unmatched by previous governments.
As part of the tour, Mr Akwaboa inspected the ongoing construction of the Debibi Senior High Technical School, a major educational project funded by the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund).
The project comprises boys’ and girls’ dormitories, an administration block, library, ICT block, a 2,500-capacity dining hall with a kitchen, infirmary, science laboratory, staff accommodation, headmaster’s bungalow, classroom blocks and a technical workshop.
The minister described the project as the biggest educational investment in the Bono Region when completed, saying it would provide students with both secondary and technical education to equip them with employable skills.
He expressed confidence that the facility would be completed by the end of 2027 and assured residents that President Mahama would commission the project upon completion.
Mr Akwaboa urged the chiefs and people of Debibi to support the project to ensure its timely completion.
At Drobo Bepoayase, the minister, together with the Tain District Chief Executive and the Member of Parliament for Tain, Adama Sulemana, commissioned and handed over a newly constructed six-unit classroom block with furniture for the local basic school.
He commended the District Chief Executive and his team for their commitment to development, particularly in expanding educational infrastructure.
Mr Akwaboa stated investing in schools was critical because today’s pupils would become the doctors, engineers, teachers and professionals of tomorrow.
He encouraged parents to prioritise their children’s education and assured residents that government remained committed to completing major road projects, including the Wenchi-Sampa and Odumase-Badu roads, to enhance economic activities.
At Agyaniamu, a farming community, the minister commissioned and handed over another six-unit classroom block which was started under the previous administration and completed by the current government.
