The District Chief Executive of North Dayi in the Volta Region, Edmund Attah Kudjoh, on Friday, commissioned a 6-unit classroom block for Vakpo Senior High School.
The classroom block, which cost some GH₵ 634,436.50, was sponsored by the assembly, through District Assembly Performance Assessments Tool, a mechanism used to assess and measure the performance of district assemblies in Ghana.
The initiative, according to the DCE, is aimed at accentuating government programmes in enhancing academic excellence in the country.
Speaking during a brief ceremony at the school, the North Dayi DCE noted that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had made a lot of investment in education, urging all stakeholders to protect the investment.
“It is in the same vein that I am leading the assembly to support the President’s vision in making sure that education remains the bedrock of the development of the country,” the DCE added.

Mr. Kudjoh Attah further listed some projects and interventions that the NPP government had undertaken since 2017 in the district.
He mentioned a 500-capacity boys dormitory at Vakpo Senior High School, 400 capacity boys dormitory at Vakpo Senior Secondary Technical, 3-unit classroom block at Anfoega Senior High and an ongoing dining hall and administration block all at Anfoega Senior High.

He assured the gathering of his continuous support to the GES in all areas, including, sports, culture and other co-curriculum activities in the district.

He urged them to take care of the property as part of their duties and responsibilities.
