Government to reconstruct destroyed St Charles Minor Seminary Dormitory Block

Government has announced plans to rebuild the destroyed 2-story building of the St Charles Minor Seminary Senior High School in Tamale.

The structure was last month gutted by fire destroying property of students compelling authorities to send students home for almost a week in order to make alternative accommodation arrangements for them.

Northern Regional Minister Salifu Sa-eed who visited the School on Saturday to donate some relief items to the victims, pledge government’s commitment to rebuild the structure to house the students of one of the best Senior High Schools in the region.

He presented to them some student mattresses, blankets, buckets, mosquito nets and some cartons of soap.

The Minister revealed that the current government was a caring one and will work tirelessly to bring activities and conditions of the school back to normal

The headmaster expressed joy at government’s timely response. He thanked the team for their show of love and a sound display of responsible leadership
The government delegation included the national NADMO boss Nana Agyeman Prempeh, the acting regional director Mr Iddi and other government officials.

The two-storey dormitory block accommodating over 700 students it would be recalled was last month gutted by fire displacing all students aside destroying their clothes and other learning materials.

The situation compelled school authorities to send first and second year students’ home while arrangements were underway to secure them alternative accommodation in the wake of final year students writing their West African Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSSCE).

The Regional Director led a team from the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) to sympathize with staff and students of the school appealed to benevolent organizations and the general public to come to the aid of the displaced students.
