From George Folly, Funsi
Work to connect Funsi, capital of the Wa East District in the Upper West Region, to the national electricity grid has begun with the erection of electric poles from Funsi and Wahabu to Wellembelle.
Talking to The Mirror at Funsi, the District Chief Executive, Mr Ameen Salifu, expressed the hope that the project would be completed by the end of the year.
“ The only gift we can give to our people during Christmas is to ensure that electricity reaches their door-steps” he added
He said plans were far advanced to establish the first senior high school in the district, which is expected to begin next year.
According to him, the GETFund has given approval for the school’s structures, which include a dining hall, administration block, assembly hall, four teachers bungalows and a hostel.
“ In addition to this, the district assembly through it’s Common Fund will also put up another hostel to augment the one to be provided by the GETFund”, Mr Salifu said.
The DCE stressed the need for improvement in the educational facilities in the district in order to catch up with other places in the region.
He said being one of the newly created ones, the district would need the efforts of all to tackle the numerous challenges facing the assembly.
Mr Ameen, therefore, deplored the attitude of some assemblymen whose avowed aim was to derail the efforts being made to develop the area and called on the people to be steadfast and not allow themselves to be divided along partisan political lines.
