The Ghana Gas Company Limited is funding the construction of a six-unit classroom block at the Aggrey Memorial Basic School within the Sekondi/Takoradi Metropolis.
Mr Andrew Egyapa Mercer, the Member Of Parliament for Sekondi Constituency, cut the sod for the commencement of the project, which is expected to be executed within six months at a cost of GHC520,000.00
The Member of Parliament for Sekondi also happens to be a Board member of the Company whose focus on its Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSRs) include Education, Social, Health and Water infrastructures in Ghana.
The project, aimed at having an improved educational infrastructure in the school when completed, would have other ancillary facilities for sanitation and environmental purposes.
Mr Mercer urged the contractor to carefully and meticulously execute the project within the timelines to avoid cost overruns and unnecessary delays.
The Parents/Teachers’ Association chairman for the School, Mr Paul Napoleon Andoh, together with some alumni expressed their gratitude to the MP for facilitating the benevolence.
