Madam Amui expressed the happiness when she undertook an inspection of schools in the municipality to ensure the compliance of the health protocols of the wearing of nose masks, washing of hands, the use of sanitizers and social distancing.

She gave the assurance that; “Once the learners observe health measures, no calamity would befall them and that the children should not entertain any fears as their safety is intact.”

The Chief Executive advised the students to focus on their learning, be obedient to their teachers and to observe all the guidelines concerning the COVID-19, and should be one another’s keeper.

Mrs Monica Kumahor Ansaba, the Municipal Education Director, some health official and other officers from the Assembly, accompanied the Chief Executive.

She commended the Government for the timely release of the protective logistics and expressed gratitude to the MCE and the Member of Parliament for the area, Mr Ebenezer Nartey for their role in the reopening of the schools.
