The Senior Presidential Advisor, Yaw Osafo-Maafo, has commissioned three developmental educational and sanitation projects at Akyem Oda in the Birim Central Municipality of the Eastern Region.
The developmental projects include Akim Oda St. Luke RC Primary Information Communication Technology (ICT) laboratory, a 6-Unit classroom block at Presby A & C Primary School, and a 10-seater water closet toilet facility, all in the municipality.
The projects are expected to help students improve on their academics, acquire higher skills that lead to improved learning outcomes and create a favourable learning environment to impact pupils’ performance in the Birim Central Municipality.
