The Odikro of Senya Bonsuoku, Nenyi Kweku Kwei VI, has fulfilled a major promise to his people with the completion of an ultramodern school complex for the community.

The project is his first major development initiative since his installation in 2018 and was made possible through the collective commitment of traditional authorities, residents and natives in the diaspora.

The traditional council mobilised the community and coordinated support for the construction, while individuals and organisations contributed in various ways to ensure its completion.

The Chief, who is also the Nifahene of the Senya Beraku Traditional Council, said the project was motivated by the need to improve educational infrastructure and provide a safe and conducive environment for teaching and learning.

"When I was installed in 2020, I promised to transform Bonsuoku. Today, this school is a proof that the promise was not just words," he said.

He expressed gratitude to all traditional leaders, community members, individuals and organisations who supported the project, stating that their contributions demonstrated the power of community-led development.



"This school was not built by me alone. It was built by the Chiefs, the people of Bonsuoku and our brothers and sisters abroad who believed in the vision," he said.



"If we want a better future for Bonsuoku, we must invest in the education of our children. This is where it starts," he added.

He urged pupils and teachers who would use the facility to take proper care of it and maintain it for current and future generations, and called on other communities to embrace collective action and partnerships to address development challenges, particularly in education.

"I charge the pupils and teachers to take good care of this facility. It is for them, and for generations yet to come," he said.

Nenyi Kweku Kwei VI was installed as Chief in 2020 after completing the University of Ghana Business School, Legon.

During his coronation, he promised to transform his community through communal labour and asked his people to put their shoulders to the wheel to support his vision.
