The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Nadowli-Kaleo Katherine T.Lankono, has embarked on a district wide tour to inspect some completed and ongoing infrastructural projects initiated by the government in the various communities of the district last Friday.

In the process, the DCE inspected and carried out a number of activities. Among which include:

EDUCATION

The DCE presented two hundred dual desks, hundred mono desks, ten teachers’ table and eight cardboards to the Nadowli-Kaleo District Education Service (GES) on Friday the 18th of January,2019 for onward distribution to schools.

Speaking to Radio Progress after the donation, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Madam Katherine T. Lankono said the current NPP administration has better plans for education.

Based on this, the Assembly has decided to support the education sector with some furniture that will support teaching and learning in some of the schools in the district.

Madam Katherine also added that, education is the key to the development of the district hence the need to support the sector.

The District Director of Education, Madam Mary Assumpa promised to distribute the furniture to the schools that really need them.

The DCE promised to add more furniture to the ones presented to ensure they adequately deal with inadequate furniture in schools to provide conducive environment for teaching and learning.

In 2018, she handed over a kindergarten block to Meguo a farming community in the Nadowli-Kaleo District of the Upper West Region. And similar one was again handed over to the Duong community. This, she said could help limit the problems of inadequate furniture in schools in her jurisdiction.

She advised the Heads of the schools to practice good maintenance culture in order to prolong the lifespan of the furniture.

HEALTH AND SANITATION

The DCE also inspected the construction of a ten-seater toilet facility for the McCoy College of Education in the Nadowli-Kaleo district of the Upper West Region

Speaking to the media, she indicated that the project is under the Ministry of Special Initiative and Development.

The College was established in 2014 to train teachers for basic schools in response to a social audit which was conducted by the Catholic Diocese of Wa in 2011 to assess the physical and financial gaps between needs and resources available for local development in the area of education.

The vision of the College is to provide Quality Catholic Education for the Transformational Leadership.

At the time the team got to the project site, the contractor was not on site but the DCE expressed her joy at the level of works by the contractor.

The SRC President, Kuuzie Betrand of the College also expressed his joy and called on the Assembly to bring more projects to the school.
