A ground breaking ceremony has taken place for the construction of a Multi-Purpose Assembly Hall for the New Edubiase Senior High School (SHS) in the Adansi South District of Ashanti region.
The 1,500 capacity Assembly Hall is being financed by AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) Obuasi Mine, at a cost of GHC13,151,236.00.
A local contractor, AA Engineering and Construction is building the facility and it is to be completed in 17 months’ time.
The Assembly Hall, when completed, will comprise an18-Seater Conference room for meetings and planning sessions, 24-Seater Staff Common Room and a Headmaster’s and Assistant Headmaster’s suites.
The facility is also expected to enhance the school’s capacity to host examinations and large gatherings. Mr. Edmund Oduro Agyei, Director Sustainability Management of AGA noted that provision of infrastructure for schools was part of the Company’s 10-Year Socio-Economic Development Plan, hence the construction of the monumental edifice for the New Edubiase SHS.
He called for support towards the continuous existence of the mine to enable the company to continue to give the needed support to the people in its catchment areas.
The Edubiasehene, Guahyia Oduro Panin Birikorang, expressed delight that at long last Edubiase SHS was going to benefit from the use of such magnificent structure, and on behalf of the school and the Edubiase community thanked AGA for the support.
The Adansi South DCE, Oheneba Kobena Andoh, also thanked Edubiasehene for championing the construction of the facility and wished the Contractor a happy stay to complete the project on schedule.
