Dr. Owusu Ansah (R) handing over a copy of BAPSA constitution to Mr. Asamoah
Stakeholders of the Boa Amponsem Senior High School (BOASS) in the Central Region have been urged to make substantial financial contributions to provide the students with the requisite infrastructure that will improve their academic performance.
Members of the Boa Amponsem Past Students Association (BAPSA) in particular have been implored to fulfill promises they made to provide the needed facilities at their alma mater.
An assembly hall and other projects, which were planned to be built to address the plight of the students, have stalled due to the lack of funds.
About 6,000 concrete blocks produced by the association in respect of the assembly hall are available, but inadequate funding is delaying the construction.
Dr. Wilberforce Owusu Ansah, Senior Lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) School of Business, who is the outgoing President of BAPSA, appealed to members to help resource the school to enhance teaching and learning.
Dr. Owusu Ansah disclosed this at the inauguration of new executives of the association and the launch of its constitution in Kumasi Sunday.
The association, which was formed in 1998, chiefly seeks to promote high academic and moral standards at the school through mentoring.
After giving account of their stewardship to the association, the outgoing executives handed over documents and all property in their possession to the new 13-member executives headed by Yaw Asamoah, a businessman.
In a speech, Yaw Amponsah, the new BAPSA President, thanked his predecessors for their hard work and called on those who contested the various positions to support the new executives to excel and help develop the school.
“I must assure you that we are going to continue all the projects the old executives started, and in fact put some urgency to them, especially the Assembly Hall Project,” he said to a thunderous applause.
