Authorities of the AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) School in Obuasi are constructing a 12-Unit Classroom Block at the cost of GHC6million for the school.
Speaking at a sod-cutting ceremony for the commencement of the project on the school premises, the Executive Director of the school, Mr. Simon Peter Attah-Cato, said it has become necessary to put up an additional school block to ease congestion in the various classrooms.
He stated that the two-storey classroom block is expected to be completed in eight months and it is being funded from the school’s own resources.
Mr. Attah-Cato explained that in 2018 the population of the school was around 1,000 students but currently it has increased to 3,721 thus necessitating the expansion in infrastructure.
Mr. Edmund Oduro Agyei, AGA Community Relations Manager commended the Director, Teaching Staff and PTA for their initiative in the project, especially when the school is funding the project from its own resources.
Mr. Evans Appiah Adjei Boateng, Safety Officer for Kilon Design and Build, the Construction Company undertaking the project, pledged that the company would hand over a befitting block to the school at the scheduled date for completion.
