First Lady presents new car to school

Mrs Lordina Mahama, the First Lady, has presented a new double cabin Nissan Navara pick-up to Dormaa Presbyterian Midwifery Training School in the Dormaa Central Municipality.

The donation was in fulfilment of a promise made by the First Lady when she visited the school to inaugurate a newly constructed students hostel facility, named after her.

Mr Gordon Asubonteng, Dormaa Municipal Chief Executive, who presented the vehicle on behalf of the First Lady, said the donation was in response to an appeal made by the Principal of the School for a school bus to meet some of its critical needs.

He said the First Lady decided to provide the pick-up as an interim measure as plans for a bus are being worked on.

He said in two months there would be a ground breaking ceremony for the construction of a two storey hostel facility to be funded by Mrs Mahama, which would be a continuation of the Lordina Hostel facility adding that tender for the project has been completed while evaluation is at the regional level.

Mr Asubonteng said the Municipal Assembly has resolved to phase lift the Osagyefo Agyemang Badu Junior High School to include nursery and kindergarten as part of efforts to promote quality education.

Hilda Commey, Principal of the School, thanked the First Lady for honouring her promise and expressed optimism that other pledges would be redeemed.
