He applauded the municipality for ensuring that the little ones move from poor rooms to good classrooms. He pleaded with the community and all stakeholders who have a role to play to ensure that the building lasts long for the next generation to also benefit from it.

The MCE said within the four years of the NPP Damang has had its fair share of the national cake as sod had been cut for a new market and an Arts training center at Damang. He promised to continue to bring development to Damang. Most of the projects were built by goldfields but the assembly can now boast of some projects in Damang. He urged the teachers to take good care of the facility. He said the facility is meant for children and not for the elderly hence the entire community should desist from using it.

The headmistress of the school was pleased that the assembly and the MP responded to their plea for classroom block.
