Salaga (N/R), March 10, GNA - The East Gonja District Assembly, in partnership with the Ministry of Communications, have built Information, Communication Technology (ICT) centre at a cost of 11,600 Ghana cedis for the people of Salaga and surrounding communities.

The centre has 15 computers and is connected to the Internet. Mr. Amadu Musah Abudu, East Gonja District Chief Executive, told the GNA at Salaga after inspecting some projects that the centre would offer computer training to people of the area at subsidised rates. He said the centre had space for about 45 computers and that the assembly would provide it with more computers to enhance teaching and learning.

Other projects that Mr Abudu inspected included the Salaga Storm Drainage System, a new police station and the renovated District Chief Executive's residence.

He appealed to the contractor working on the Salaga Storm Drainage System to speed up work and complete it before the rains set in. Mr. Abudu expressed concern about the poor nature of the road from Tamale to Salaga and appealed to government to tar it as well as the road from Salaga to Makango.
