Bodom Citizens abroad contribute to community

Bodom (Brong Ahafo) -- Some non-resident citizens of Bodom in the Nkoranza District, who are currently based in Canada have donated 11.2 million cedis to the community to support the area's electrification programme.

Mr. Samuel Adjei, the assemblyman for the area disclosed this to the Ghana News Agency at Bodom on Friday. He praised Mr. J.K. Attah a retired educationist and a citizen of the town who made the donation on behalf of the donors for his role in getting them to make the donation.

Mr. Adjei said the people had been able to erect 65 low tension poles for the project, adding that, they needed additional poles to complete the project. He appealed to the Nkoranza District Assembly to provide them with fifteen additional poles to ensure the successful completion of the project

The unit committee chairman Mr. I.P. Twumasi urged other non-resident citizens of the town area based in Ghana or outside the country to emulate the good examples of the donors to promote the development of the area.
