Hon. Bernard Ahiafor, Daniel Dagba Cuts Sod for New Classroom Blocks at Alorkpa and Glikpome on May Day

As part of efforts to enhance educational infrastructure in the Akatsi South Constituency, the Member of Parliament and First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Bernard Ahiafor, has cut sod for the construction of two new three-unit classroom blocks with offices at Alorkpa and Glikpome. The dual ceremonies took place on May Day and were attended by local dignitaries, community members, and stakeholders from the Education Directorate.

At Alorkpa, The RT Hon first deputy speaker was joined by the newly confirmed Municipal Chief Executive of Akatsi South, Hon. Daniel Dagba, the constituency Executives of the Ruling National Democratic Congress, and the Municipal Director of Education, Mr. Karim Ayaana Umar. Chiefs, elders, and residents of the community gathered to witness the event, expressing heartfelt appreciation to the MP and the MCE for their continued investment in the development of the area, particularly in education.

In their address, the chiefs lauded Hon. Ahiafor’s unwavering commitment to the community and seized the opportunity to appeal for support in completing Alorkpa’s stalled electrification project. Responding promptly, Hon. Ahiafor instructed the project contractor, Mr. Asanka, to return to the site and resume work immediately.

A similar sod-cutting ceremony was held later in the day at Glikpome, where another three-unit classroom block with an office is set to be constructed. Speaking at both events, Hon. Daniel Dagba urged residents to cultivate a culture of maintenance to preserve the soon-to-be-completed educational facilities.

The new classroom blocks are expected to significantly reduce overcrowding in classrooms and improve teaching and learning conditions in the two communities. These projects form part of a broader effort by Hon. Ahiafor to uplift educational standards and improve social infrastructure across Akatsi South.

In a statement signed by Mr. Isaac Kofi Ativor, the Constituency Communications officer of the Akatsi South NDC, the May Day ceremonies underscore the MP’s ongoing dedication to holistic development and his resolve to deliver tangible improvements in the lives of his constituents.
