The projects comprising, a 6-unit classroom block at Goripie Saeediyya Primary School and a 3-unit classroom block at Ducie Primary were constructed at a total cost of GH¢241,127.00

Mr. Ameen Salifu, the Wa East District Chief Executive who inaugurated the two projects commended the contractors for a good job done.

He appealed to parents in the two communities to send their children to school and ensure they stayed in school.

Mr Salifu said the Goripie Saeediyya Primary School had been enrolled into the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) adding that arrangements were being put in place to get a matron to kick-start cooking in less than a month.

Mr. Saddique Seidu, the Headmaster, thanked the DCE and the Assembly for the facility and said he was happy the school would benefit from the

GSFP and added that this would boost attendance figures and also reduce school the dropout rate.
