Accra, July 11, GNA - An ultra-modern resource centre comprising a 2,000-seater multi-purpose hall, a modern library, administrative offices and state-of-the-art ICT Centre is to be constructed for Adisadel College in Cape Coast. The centre, estimated at GH¢3 million and scheduled for completion by December 2009 is expected to serve the needs of not only the College but also the Cape Coast Municipality. At a ceremony in Accra on Thursday to launch a grand programme to raise funds towards the construction of the centre, Mr Prince Kofi Amoabeng, Chairman of the Adisadel Centenary Celebrations Committee (ACCC), said the Adisadel community (Santaclausians) had decided to embark on such a project to mark the centenary celebrations of the College.

He called on all alumni of the College to take up the unity of purpose that contributed immensely to the development of the College and take an active interest in the preparations towards the anniversary. As part of the programme, all alumni are requested to donate GH¢100, the equivalent to one cedi for each year of Adisadel's existence. Alumni, well wishers and corporate organisations are also expected to make other special donations to the fund. So far, 10 per cent of the funds had been raised with the rest to be raised by end of July. All donations are to be channelled to Adisadel College Endowment Fund, Standard Chartered Bank, High Street Branch Accra, Account number 0100 100 618 900. 11 July 08
