portion of the facility. Years of neglect have led to the roof falling apart.The development is a worry for residents in the area.Chief of Apagya, Baffuor Gyankokor II believes the completion and operation of the project will bring enormous benefits to the area.<img src="

understand why the facility is not operational looking at the amount of money sunk into putting up such a project. We don’t have a senior high school in this area and for that matter, our children have to continue their second-cycle education elsewhere. At least, the operation of this school will open up this area and boost economic activities as well. Government should finish up the work and make the facility operational”.

At the time of the visit, some members of the opposition National Democratic Congress were seen clearing the weeds around the facility.National Organizer of NDC, Joseph Yammin said they will go around the country to protect the legacy of the party.<img src="

the educational facility.“Since 2017, nothing significant has been done to complete the project. It’s even difficult to identify the building from the roadside. So since it’s our legacy and the NPP is adamant about completing and making it operational, we will continue to protect the facility from further rotting away.

We will see to the completion of the school as soon as we return to government”Until work resumes on the project, the facility will continue to rot.
