President John Mahama has assured residents of Asuokow in the Eastern Region of a prompt response to their plight, as schoolchildren risk their lives daily crossing a river to attend classes.

In a Facebook post, he shared a video highlighting the community’s struggles and pledged swift action to address the issue.

Mahama further stated that Asuokow has been identified for urgent intervention, with plans already in motion to implement a lasting solution.

“Earlier today, the MP for Lower West Akim, Owen Kwame Frimpong, visited the Asuokow community and assured them that the Eastern Regional Minister will also visit, as we work to permanently and urgently resolve the challenge the people and the schoolchildren are confronted with,” the President stated.

He emphasized that his Reset Ghana agenda is focused on eliminating barriers to education and healthcare, guaranteeing equal opportunities for all Ghanaians.

“Our quest to Reset Ghana includes a determination to remove barriers to education and healthcare across the country,” he stated.
