School projects to be investigated

Sogakope (V/R), March 29, GNA - Mr Joseph Amenowode, Volta Regional Minister, has hinted at investigations into reports that the Sogakope Senior High School had not received any public funding for infrastructure projects in the past 30 years. Mr Amenowode said records at the Volta Regional Co-ordinating Council indicated that a project was undertaken in the school under the Ghana Education Trust Fund.

"This would be investigated to establish the truth," he said while addressing the 47th Speech and Prize-Giving Day at the school. He was responding to remarks made by the Headmaster of the School, Mr. Kwame Aggor that the school had not benefited from any public funded project in the past 30 years.

Mr Amenowode appealed to other stakeholders, including old students, to complement government's effort in resolving the inadequate and poor infrastructure challenges facing the schools.
