  "account": "Construction on the Dorimon E-Block Community Day Senior High School in the Wa West District has resumed, with the project nearly finished after a 10-year hiatus. The initiative, initiated during President John Mahama's first term, was halted following a governmental shift. The Dorimon Traditional Council, headed by Paramount Chief Naa Alhaji Seidu Tungbani Salinbile II, inspected the site and expressed satisfaction with the progress made. The absence of a secondary school in the area has caused families to send their children to distant locations for education. Naa Alhaji Seidu recalled that his predecessor had previously requested the resumption of work but received no action. Now, almost 85% of the construction is complete, including interior fittings, flooring, and basic utilities. Local and national authorities, including the Ministry of Education, have prioritized the project. The completion of the school will benefit young girls, who often drop out due to long commutes. The contractor assures that the project is on schedule for a handover by the end of October.",
