Addressing the media at a short ceremony, Mr Koduah said the facility will provide software development training where students would learn how to create websites, mobile applications to improve their knowledge in technology. According to him, the centre will also be used to sharpen their minds in standardized tests to enhance their learning skills. He explained that his district has benefited immensely from government's commitment to ensure good and quality education with the construction of classroom blocks and teachers-quarters soon to commence at Adaboi and Ayanfuri. Mr Koduah said the Diaso Senior High School has seen a face-lift by the government, having completed and handed over dormitories, dining and assembly halls, classroom blocks and bungalows for teaching staff to authorities. He mentioned that other neighboring communities within the district will benefit from the ICT infrastructure project especially examination centers by providing ICT laboratories.
