Gov't to construct English-Arabic School at Nima

Accra, Aug. 6, GNA - The government is to construct an English-Arabic School from nursery to the Junior Secondary School (JSS) level, at Nima in Accra.

It would be financed from the 300,000 dollars donated to the government by the Saudi Prince during his visit to Ghana to improve on education. President John Agyekum Kufuor stated this when he addressed the Chiefs and people of Nima and Fadama in the Accra Metropolis as part of his tour of the Greater Accra Region.

He said the Nima market would also be modernised and urged the Greater Accra Regional Minister, the Metropolitan Chief Executive and the MP for Ayawaso East to co-ordinate their efforts to improve sanitation in the area.

President Kufuor said recreational facilities would be improved to unearth the many talents in the area and advised the youth not to indulge in social vices that would affect them in future. He asked the people to channel their grievances through the appropriate channels for redress.

Dr Mustapha Ahmed, MP for the area, appealed to the government for assistance to provide educational facilities for the people and called on the people to unite to develop the area.
