In the early hours of Thursday,
May 25th, a delegation from GNPC led by Board Chairman, Mr. Freddie Blay,
officially handed over the newly completed 7-unit home economics block to the
Krobo Girls Presbyterian SHS community.
The facility, which was fully
funded by the GNPC Foundation, will now accommodate the school’s home economics
department.
Mrs. Bernice Noel Mensah-Akutteh,
the headmistress of Krobo Girls Presbyterian SHS, expressed her heartfelt
appreciation to the entire GNPC fraternity for providing this modern edifice,
which will go a long way to improving teaching and learning in the school.
Hon. Simon Kweku Tetteh, MCE for
Lower Manya Krobo Municipality, commended GNPC for the tremendous
infrastructure support given to his municipality over the past few years he has
been in office.
He used the opportunity to appeal
to the Board Chairman of GNPC, Mr. Freddie Blay, to use his high office to help
secure a bus for Krobo Girls Presbyterian SHS since running this great school
with over 2800 students without a school bus has been a great challenge to the
management and himself as the MCE for the area.
Mr. Samuel Kwesi Tettey, Lower
Manya Krobo Municipal Education Director, expressed his profound gratitude to
GNPC and the GNPC Foundation in his speech, as he assured them that, as the
manager of all the schools in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality, he will make
sure this all-important project is properly maintained to serve its purpose.
He concluded by appealing to the
GNPC Foundation to support the education sector in the municipality since there
are some infrastructure gaps in the area and they will need their support.
