Nana Kusi Frimpong, caretaker Chief (Odikro) of Asempanaye in the Ahafo Ano South East District of the Ashanti Region, has complained about the poor communication network as the major challenge in the area.
According to him, the bad communication network was affecting the development of the area and its adjoining communities.
Speaking to The Chronicle, Nana Kusi Frimpong stated that the problem had affected the study of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the schools.
He pleaded with the government, through the Communication Ministry, to liaise with the service providers, especially MTN and Vodafone, to come to their aid to ensure effective communication and the study of ICT in the schools.
The Chief also complained that the poor communication network had affected entrepreneurs, thus rendered apprentices who were ready for the job market were unemployed, since they could not network to the business community to be employed or offered any job opportunity to job seekers in the area.
Mr. Emmanuel Kobi- Tumfour, Assembly Member for Asempanaye/Dwenewoho Electoral Area, commended Nana Kusi Frimpong for his developmental agenda for the community.
According to him, the Odikro had built a six-unit classroom block, while a three-unit classroom block was under construction through communal labour to address the school’s infrastructural deficit, which had compelled most of the children of school going age to attend schools in other communities.
The Assembly Member appealed to the District Assembly and the government to ensure the completion of a six-unit classroom block started at Dwenewoho in 2020.
The project, which was funded under the “One million dollar, One Constituency” initiative, and now at the roofing level, had since been abandoned.
