Adentan Assembly begins infrastructure projects across municipality
The Adentan Municipal Assembly has embarked on sod cutting programmes across the municipality to improve social infrastructure in the area.
The programmes include the construction of new classroom blocks, upgrading of health facilities, and the provision of 13 new boreholes for communities without potable water.
These projects, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Ms Ella Esinam Christine Nongo, explained, were being undertaken to relieve pressure on overcrowded schools, strengthen primary health access and reduce water insecurity while carrying clear local political benefits for Municipal leadership and the Member of Parliament (MP).
According to her, the Amrahia community would get a new six-unit storey classroom block as well as a two-storey health facility with staff bungalow; Otanor an 18 unit classroom block; Adentan a three storey, 18 unit classroom block; Ashaley Botwe a perimeter fence and landscaping, while Ashiyie would also get a two unit Kindergarten classroom block.
Ms Nongo stated that 13 boreholes would be drilled with overhead tanks to provide 24 hour water and would be done within six months, adding that those interventions were expected to reduce overcrowded classrooms, improve maternal and child health access, and expand reliable potable water for households and schools.
She noted that the completion of these facilities would ease overcrowding and create safer, more conducive learning spaces for our children all signaling the Municipalities commitment to long term educational infrastructure improvement as well as strengthens service continuity and staff retention.
The fencing and landscaping at Ashaley Botwe reproductive health centre, she indicated, was to protect public assets and improve patient safety saying that these projects also have political impact on Health investments across demographics.
The MP of the area, Mohamed Ramandan, emphasised that the upgrading of the health facilities exhibits that representation translates into better care at the community level, while reducing shortage of water challenges in the municipality.
He stated that the distribution of the boreholes would also reduce reliance on unsafe sources, lower household water costs, and support school sanitation and assured of a transparent and equitable distribution of resources for the good of the people.
