This donation was timely as some pupils around the Weija dam site area are forced to use canoes to cross over to their various schools due to the excess water from the dam sillage anytime it rains excessively.

Addressing the people during the donation, the MCE assured the community that the assembly is engaging stakeholders especially engineers from the Road and Transport Ministry, among other agencies to find a lasting solution to the issue by constructing a solid footbridge over the river for easy access.

He also advised the owners of the canoes to adhere to strict compliance by way of ensuring that each pupil is adequately dressed in their life jackets before crossing the river to their schools.

The MCE was accompanied by the Municipal Coordinating Director, Mrs Mercy Quansah, the Urban Roads Engineer, Mr. Sowah, staff of the Municipal Assembly, security personnel, the Nadmo officials some party members and well-wishers.

The entourage was met by the Circuit Supervisor of the Municipal Education Directorate.
