The Chief of Fodoa commended the John Mahama-led administration for undertaking such a localized initiative to improve the lives of persons living in rural communities.
He called on the government and the MCE to convert Fodoa’s Community Day SHS to a fully-fledged Boarding school to help alleviate the increasing spate of teenage pregnancies within the school and the community.
He requested the MCE to support the lighting system in Fodoa and its environs to curb the rate of darkness that engulfs areas in the community. On electricity, Nana Adu Asante urged the MCE to, on behalf of the community replace the existing Transformer due to its incapability of sharing load to homes in the area, which usually fluctuates power supply.
Mr. Tamimu stated that his office has formally written to the Regional Coordinating Council to support flooding issues in Kwahu West, specifically, the new station area, which is capital intensive project. He has reaffirmed the John Mahama-led administration’s commitment to safeguarding and ensuring development in every parts of the country.
