Ledzokuku MP, MCE inspect burnt school 

The Member of Parliament for Ledzokuku, Benjamin Ayiku Narteh, and the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Israel Adjetey Otchwenmah, have visited the burnt Teshie Camp 2 primary B and Junior High School.

The inferno, which took place last Wednesday evening around 6:45 pm after a downpour destroyed the class three classroom and the school’s store. It also destroyed items such as exercise books, textbooks, a set of drums, set of canopies, furniture among other items. A team from the Ghana National Fire Service with support from the community members managed to bring the fire under control.

The MP and the MCE visited the burnt facility on Thursday to have first-hand information of the burnt facility and what could be done to reconstruct it. Accompanying them were the Municipal Engineer and other technical staff, a team from the GNFS, the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) as well as representative of the Teshie Traditional Council.

In a brief comment, the MP urged the Assembly to do everything possible towards the reconstruction of the facility to ensure that the displaced pupils get a place to study.

He assured the school of their preparedness to collaborate to help fix the facility with the utmost speed it deserved.

The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Israel Adjetey Otchwenmah, pledged to put in place the right measures and resources to ensure the speedy completion of the facility. The Municipal Director of Education, Mrs Theresa Tetteh, who had earlier visited the school, also sympathised with the staff and pledged to link up with the right authorities for the needed resources to be provided to the school towards the promotion of effective teaching and learning.

She urged the staff to strive and manage the available resources in the school so they could continue with their teaching and learning until the burnt facility was reconstructed.

The Head teacher of the School, Madam Ruth Boye, was full of praise to the community for their swift response, which prevented the fire from escalating to other parts of the school.

She used the occasion to appeal to old students, Non-Governmental Organizations and other well-meaning Ghanaians to come and complement the government’s efforts towards the reconstruction and provision of needed resources to the school.
