Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has made a commitment to construct a senior high school for the residents of Kwamankese in the Abura Asebu Kwamankese district of the Central region.

The former President announced this pledge during a durbar of Chiefs and People in Kwamankese, held as part of his two-day visit on Friday.

Expressing his concern, Mahama stated that it is unacceptable for Kwamankese to lack a senior high school, and he has vowed to address this gap by initiating the construction of a new educational facility in the area.

“As for this promise, I can make. If the NDC comes to power God willing, you’ll have a secondary school here in Kwamankese. It is not fair and right that you don’t have such a school here. The constituency is called Abura Asebu Kwamankese. In this constituency we have five secondary schools but all them are in the Abura and Asebu, leaving out Kwamankese with no senior high school. I have stated that I will make no more promises, but on this issue, I stand here to promise that when the NDC comes to power you the people of Kwamankese will have a secondary school," Mahama said.

Mr. Mahama's two-day tour of the Central Region commenced on Friday, December 22, 2023. The itinerary includes visits to various locations such as Cape Coast, Ayeldo in the Abura Asebu Kwamankese Constituency, Nyankomasi Ahenkro in the Assin South Constituency, Twifu Praso Nursing Training College, Jukwa, Mankessim, Agona East, and the Awutu Traditional Council at Awutu Bereku.

The primary objective of this tour is to provide Mr. Mahama with the platform to engage with Ghanaians and elucidate on the importance of introducing the 24-Hour Economy policy should he emerge victorious in the 2024 election.
