Residents demand immediate commissioning of abandoned E-Block SHS project

The residents of Damanko in Ghana's Oti Region are demanding the immediate commissioning of the E-Block Community Day Senior High School, a project that has been stalled since 2015. The community feels this setback to education and development is painful, as families now face the emotional and financial strain of sending their children to senior high schools outside the district.

The project, initiated under former President Mahama's administration, was about 95% complete before the change in government in 2016, but has yet to see completion after eight years under the current NPP administration. Assemblyman Kwabena Vincent emphasized the importance of the school, stating that it would not only ease the burden on households by reducing transportation and accommodation costs for students and parents, but also stimulate local development by creating jobs and attracting commerce for various small enterprises.
