The Member of Parliament for Sekondi, Hon. Nyameke Blay Armah, has officially cut the sod for the commencement of a GH¢3 million school renovation project aimed at improving educational infrastructure across the constituency.
The project, which forms part of the MP’s broader commitment to enhancing teaching and learning conditions, is expected to transform several aging school facilities into safer, more conducive environments for pupils and teachers.
The sod-cutting ceremony, attended by education stakeholders, community leaders, assembly members, and residents, marked the beginning of what many describe as a significant investment in the future of education in the Sekondi Constituency.
Speaking at the event, Hon. Nyameke Blay Armah reaffirmed his dedication to improving access to quality education through strategic infrastructure development. He noted that creating a conducive learning atmosphere remains critical to raising educational standards and equipping the next generation with the tools needed to succeed.
“This project is an investment in our children and the future of Sekondi. Every child deserves to learn in a safe and comfortable environment, and we are committed to ensuring that our schools receive the necessary support to deliver quality education,” he stated.
The first phase of the renovation programme will cover eight schools across the constituency. The beneficiary institutions include Old Hospital School, St. Peter’s Primary and JHS, Rev. Griffeon Primary and JHS, STMA Boundary Road School at Edankessim, Chief Ibrahim Basic School, Presbyterian School, St. Andrew’s School, and A.M.E Zion School.
The renovation works are expected to address critical infrastructural challenges, including the rehabilitation of classrooms, roofing systems, sanitation facilities, and other essential amenities necessary for effective teaching and learning.
Residents and education stakeholders have welcomed the initiative, describing it as a timely intervention that will significantly improve learning outcomes and the overall educational experience of pupils.
The GH¢3 million project adds to ongoing efforts by the Sekondi MP to strengthen social infrastructure and promote sustainable development within the constituency.
With work set to begin immediately, the initiative is expected to bring renewed hope to thousands of pupils and teachers who have long grappled with deteriorating school facilities.
