The flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has promised to add boarding facilities to the community day Senior High School (SHS), built by the president John Dramani Mahama in Adugyama in the Ahafo Ano South district of the Ashanti region.
President Mahama was in the community a fort night ago to commission the school which has two libraries, a canteen and residential facilities for school authorities and staff.
The president also donated a bus and pick up to the new community day school which forms part of his 200 community day school campaign promise to Ghanaians.
But speaking to opinion leaders and people of Adugyama on Wednesday, Nana Akufo-Addo who is in the Ashanti region on a five day ‘arise for change tour’; noted that the facility provided was not enough.
He indicated that the community was deserving of a boarding facility which he intends to put up to give it that befitting status.
Addressing the crowd in Twi, he indicated, “The president promised to build two hundred community day Senior High Schools. So far he has been able to build just five. The one which is here in your community is not even the best. I will ensure I put up a boarding facility for it to also become a legacy in this town.”
He also lashed out at the Mahama Administration for implementing in piecemeal the free SHS education policy which he insists was discredited when he championed it in his 2012 election campaign.
He assured the people he will implement a better and more comprehensive free Senior High School policy when given the nod to lead the country come the national elections slated for later this year.
