President’s trips
abroad are to support national
development - MCE
Adako-Jachie (Ash), Aug. 06, Ghanadot/GNA
- Mr Yaw Amankwa Afrifa, Ejisu Juaben Municipal Chief
Executive (MCE) said President John Agyekum Kufour’s trips
abroad were not for luxury but to seek support for the
nation’s development.
He enumerated some of the benefits derived from such trips
as the grants for the construction of the Bui Dam,
presidential palace, the Mallam Atta -Yamoransa road,
Millennium Challenge Accounts and the cancellation of the
nation’s debt.
Speaking during this year’s Pre-School Week celebration in
the Ejisu-Juaben Municipality at Adako Jachie, he urged
those criticising the trips to consider the benefits that
they brought.
Mr Afrifa attributed the current economic gains and the
peace prevailing in the country to the prudent economic
management practices by the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
government and called for the retention of the party to
continue the good work.
He said the huge investment made by the government in the
education sector was a clear manifestation of its interest
in the sector and urged parents to complement government’s
efforts by providing the needs of their wards.
Madam Grace Adom, Ejisu-Juaben Municipal Pre-School Co-ordinator
said the Early Child Care Development Centres(ECCDC) played
an important role at the foundation stage of the nation’s
future leaders.
She commended schools in the Tikrom Circuit for scoring 100
per cent in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE)
and thanked the chiefs and other stakeholders for their role
towards the development of education in the area.
Madam Agnes Okyere, Municipal Director of Education called
on parents, teachers, religious groups and society in
general to contribute their quota towards the development of
education in the country.
She urged parents to provide their children with good food
in the morning before leaving for school and appealed to the
Parent Teacher Associations to support the provision of
logistics and other educational materials to enhance
teaching and learning.
