She said without discipline, students would not be able to achieve success in life adding; discipline is required of you at all times.

Ms Koomson, who was addressing a parade of school children at Akyem Oda to mark Ghana's 57th Independence Celebration, reminded them that as future leaders, they had a special role to play in the development of Mother Ghana.

You should devote more time to your books and strive to achieve excellence in whatever you do, she advised the students.

The MCE said since education was a priority of the Government, it had not relented in building several classrooms with ancillary facilities in the municipality as well as the distribution of several laptops and school uniforms to pupils.

On the Street Naming and Property Address System, Ms Koomson said a committee had been formed to oversee the implementation and the realisation of the project.

Akyem Oda Old Town has been selected as a pilot area and the programme will subsequently be rolled out in the entire municipality, she said.

She said the Government would continue to create the enabling environment and opportunities for the accelerated growth and development of the nation.

Ms Koomson, therefore, challenged all Ghanaians to put their differences aside and join forces with the Government in forging ahead with the development of the country.

Irrespective of divergent persuasions, let good neighbourliness and respect for others prevail among us, she said.

The MCE noted that Galamsey posed a serious threat to water bodies such as the Birim River, aquatic life and forest reserves and entreated all to support the Presidential Task Force to curb the menace.
