Hon. Nicholas Amankwah Cuts Sod for 3-Unit Classroom Block at Jeoboah Basic School
The Member of Parliament for Wassa Amenfi East Constituency in the Western Region, Hon. Nicholas Amankwah has cut sod for the construction of a 3-unit classroom block for Jeoboah Basic School.
The classroom block is expected to be completed and accommodates pupils in the first quarter of 2026.
To expedite the project, the Amenfi East MP, affectionately known as “Home Boy,” provided essential building materials, including bags of cement, iron rods, sand, and other necessities to support the contractor.
The MP told the media that he is fully responsible for the construction cost of the 3-unit block.
According to Hon. Nicholas Amankwah, he became aware that due to lack of accommodation, pupils were studying in the Church of Pentecost at Joeboah, which discouraged academic confidence and affected enrollment.
An opinion leader at Jeoboah community told the media that a heavy storm brought down their mud school building, making it challenging for teachers to conduct meaningful teaching and learning activities.
He explained that many parents were reluctant to send their children to school due to the poor conditions and that they had appealed several times for urgent construction, but their efforts were fruitless until Hon. Nicholas Amankwah intervened.
Jeoboah Basic School was built with mud by the community in their quest to provide education for children.
He stated in an interview that he wanted the Amenfi East constituency to attain Sustainable Development Goal 4, ensuring children have early access to quality education to prepare them for adult life.
In a related development, Hon. Nicholas Amankwah has taken swift action to renovate a 6-unit classroom block at Twapease-Tawiah-krom.
The school had not undergone any renovation since its construction, resulting in a dilapidated condition.
The MP has donated roofing sheets, cement, wood, and other materials to aid in the urgent renovation, aiming to provide pupils with a conducive learning environment.
