Story: Lucy Adoma Yeboah, Agona Nkwanta (January 14, 2008)
THE Ahanta West District Assembly in the Western Region is putting up educational and recreational infrastructure for the benefit of the youth in the area.
The Assembly has already completed a community library with educational materials to help boost the reading habits of the inhabitants of the district. The library can accommodate 100 people.
In an interview with the District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Kwesi Biney, at Agona Nkwanta, he said the assembly had budgeted for GH¢95,000 for additional infrastructure to enhance education and physical exercise in the community.
He said with sponsorship from the Ministry of Communications, the Assembly was presently putting up an Information Communication Technology (ICT) centre which was about 70 per cent complete.
He said there were plans to construct a playing ground to house table tennis court and children’s park where games for children would be introduced.
Mr Biney pointed out that there was the need for people to develop their minds and their bodies, adding that provision of such materials were good for healthy living which imparted on national development.
He pointed out that the reason behind those projects was, among other things, to take the youth out of unproductive ventures such as drinking and smoking but rather introduce them to reading, ICT and physical exercise to improve on their minds and bodies.
The DCE said the projects were scheduled to be completed by the first quarter of the year and appealed to contractors working on them to work to meet the deadline.
