Trasacco Constructs Classroom Block

TRASACCO Estates Development Company (TEDC) Limited has started constructing a three-classroom block worth GH¢ 70,000 for Ashaley- Botwe Primary and Junior High (JHS) at Nmaidjor, a suburb of Accra.

The chief of Nmaidjor, Nii Sowah Okpolor, performed the sod cutting ceremony for the project, which is expected to be complected in June this year.

He appealed to estate developers to be socially responsible by addressing the needs of the communities in which they operate and not leave problems of projects in those areas on the people alone.

The Chief Accountant of TEDC, Mr James Frempong, said the project included an office for the headmistress, a store and toilet facilities for the management, staff and the pupils.

He said further that TEDC would ensure that water closets were provided in order to protect the children from sanitation-related ailments.

he Headmistress of the school, Mrs Kate Adjei, noted that due to the increasing population of pupils, the school authorities had no alternative but run shift.

Mrs Adjei indicated that the morning and afternoon sessions each had a population of about 260 pupils which, she said, was alarming, particularly when they did not have adequate classrooms.

The Assembly member for the community, Mrs Gladys G. Tetteh, commended the TEDC for its support to the community and appealed to parents and the general public to support the school with the needed facilities.

"We believe that this project will produce good future leaders from this country and we hope that they are going to be of great benefit to society and the country as a whole," she stated.
