The Adukuromhene who doubles as the Nifahene for Akuapem Traditional Council in the Eastern Region, Ahunuabobrim Osuodomgya Otutu Ababio V has registered his displeasure about the current state of the infrastructure at Nifa Model Senior High School.
He said, the dormitories in the school can’t accommodate enough students due to its poor conditions and as a result, many students have rented houses outside the school campus and is very dangerous.
Ahunuabobrim Osuodomgya Otutu Ababio V then appealed to the government through the District Chief Executive for Okere District Assembly to as matter of urgency to come to their aid by renovating their boarding houses and other old structures in the school for them so that they can be able to accommodate those students on campus and have peace of mind to study.
According to him, should the gov’t and Okere District Assembly don’t act fast on his plea, many students will join a gang groups and it will affect their academic performances and also would destroy their future.
The Adukuromhene who was speaking with Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH at a town hall meeting organized by the Okere District Assembly on Tuesday, February 14, 2023 at the Assembly to project and present the works being done so far in the last year 2022 and what they intend doing in 2023 to the residents of the district.
Osuodomgya Ababio then clapped for Daniel Kenneth, the DCE for Okere District Assembly and Daniel Kwaku Botwe, MP for the Okere Constituency for collaboratively working together to develop Okereman within the past 5yrs.
The District Chief Executive for Okere District Assembly, Daniel Kenneth said, last year 2022 the assembly targeted Internal Generated Fund (IGF) of GH¢600, 000.00 but they exceeded it by about 20% saying they have targeted GH¢ 700,000.00 for the year 2023.
Daniel Kenneth then told KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH that, Okere is a growing district and all their taxes are mostly being generated from the building permit and property rate therefore urging the people of Okere to continue paying their taxes so that they get more revenue to run the affairs of the District.
