Students of Okuapeman SHS in Akropong are set to benefit from an ultramodern basketball and volleyball court yet to be constructed by Director-General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), Sammi Awuku.

On Tuesday, May 30, 2023, Mr Awuku cut sod for the construction of the project which was requested by Osabarima Ansah Sadraku III early this year during his 25th anniversary celebration.

In his speech, the NLA Boss noted that taking up the task placed on his shoulders by Osabarima Ansah Sadraku III stems from personal interest as he shares a bond with the people of Akuapem.

Following the completion of the project, the basketball and volleyball court would be named after the very man who appealed for its existence, Osabarima Ansah Sadraku III, Mr Awuku revealed.

In attendance at the sod-cutting ceremony were Headmaster of Okuapeman SHS, Rev. Daniel Afari, staff and students as well as Heads from other sister-schools within Akuapem North Municipality.

An emotional Osabarima Ansah Sasraku was awe-shocked by the development and was only able to extend his appreciation to Mr Sammi Awuku.

Away from that, Mr. Sammi Awuku has pledged to renovate parts of the Salem Basic School in Akropong that have worn-out.
