The facility which is also stocked with furniture is to replace an old dilapidated structure which served hundreds of children in the community who took lessons on the bare floor due to the absence of furniture and other learning aids.

Thanking GNPC for the kind gesture, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for East Mamprusi, Hajia Rashida Ponaa Mahama said the facility demonstrates GNPC’s utmost commitment to contributing to the provision of quality education as a means of transforming the country.

In his speech, the North East Regional Minister Yidana Zakaria, expressed the region’s appreciation to GNPC for its commitment towards the development of the region and the impact recorded in education and capacity building across the country.

He also highlighted other intervention projects in the North East region which are also funded by GNPC and assured the Corporation of the region’s collaboration and support to ensure that the investments make maximum impact.

On his part, the Regent of Bowku Gbandana, Naa Yakubu Haruna said the facility has been delivered right on time to put the minds of parents and community leaders at rest. He expressed his gratitude to the foundation and tasked parents to be interested in their ward's education.

The Headteacher of the School, Mr. Jacob Tia Yakubu expressed joy over the opportunity to ease congestion and improve teaching and learning with the new facility.
