The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Krowor Municipal Assembly, Ing. Paul Nii Afotey Quaye, has assured residents of Nungua Zongo of his unwavering commitment to completing the long-abandoned Ansaru-Sunnah Basic School project.

The project, a two-storey, six-unit classroom block, began in June 2019 but currently stands at only 40% completion.

Its stalled progress has left the community in urgent need of educational infrastructure, placing additional pressure on existing schools.

During a project inspection tour, Nii Afotey Quaye noted that the Assembly had observed a lack of commitment from the current contractor.

“The existing contractor has shown little interest in continuing the project. As a result, the Assembly has decided to terminate the contract and repackage the project for re-award to a more committed contractor,” he said.

He emphasized the Assembly’s dedication to ensuring the school’s timely completion, describing it as critical to the development of the Nungua Zongo community.

“The Assembly recognizes the importance of this school to the children and families in Nungua Zongo. We are taking the necessary steps to revive and complete the project without further delay,” the MCE stated.

According to Afotey Quaye, completing the facility is a top priority for the Assembly and an essential step in expanding access to quality education in underserved areas of the municipality.

Once completed, the Ansaru-Sunnah Basic School is expected to ease overcrowding in existing schools and provide a safe, more conducive environment for learning.
