Mr Boakye said this when he commissioned two school projects for Sekyerekrom and Abidjan both in the District.

A HIPC funded three-classroom block with a staff common room, an office, a store and latrines for the Sekyerekrom local Authority primary school cost 185 million cedis while the Abidjan local primary school is provided with a three-classroom block with other facilities worth 165 million cedis, funded with the assembly's common fund.
