The beneficiary districts are, West Gonja, Tolon, Zabzugu, Saboba, Gushegu, and Karaga districts and the Savelugu/Nanton Municipality.
The Municipal Chief Executive for Savelugu/Nanton, Alhassan Abdulai Red said the items would help to improve the standard of education in the beneficiary districts.
