The investments include two Kindergarten classroom blocks, each equipped with two urinals, in Yorogo Gaabisi and Aperiga Dorongo. These structures are intended to provide a conducive environment for young children and bring early childhood education closer to residents. Additionally, the Assembly is constructing a three-unit classroom block for Kolgu Agusi Junior High School, along with a JHS block at Basiengo equipped with an ICT laboratory, library, and other necessary facilities. The Municipal Chief Executive, Roland Ayoo Atanga, inspected the projects and praised the contractors for their work, stating the Assembly's commitment to further education investments.
