Nana Abam appealed to the citizens to pay their contributions promptly to enable the Project Implementation Committee to execute it on scheduled.
The Queen Mother said there was the need for citizens to come home and help because the only school in the town built in 1940s had not seen any renovation, adding that nobody would come and develop the town for them.
