Clement Opoku Gyamfi
THE DISTRICT Chief Executive (DCE) of Amansie South in the Ashanti Region, Clement Opoku Gyamfi, has been adjudged the most outstanding DCE of the year at the National Students Awards.
The DCE, and the Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kwadjo Kyeremanten, among others, were honored at this year’s National Students Awards aimed at recognising the efforts played by people from different walks of life in helping to build the Ghanaian society.
Mr Gyamfi popularly called ‘CID’, expressed delight at his selection and recognition for the second time running.
“I’m so excited for receiving the award for the second time in a row. For the judges to have recognised my effort in the redevelopment of the education sector and honoring me as the Most Outstanding DCE,” he stated.
According to him, he was not surprised considering the kind of work he has done for his district in the area of education.
“We spent much of the Common Fund on education, building schools, manufacturing desks, and we are also trying to develop the human capacity, run training programmes for teachers and encouraging students by offering them exercise books and stationery”.
“Just about two days ago, I commissioned a KG block and the commissioning keeps coming so I am happy and I give all the praise to God and the technocrats at the assembly not forgetting the assembly members because without them such an achievement could not have been made,” he added.
The National Students Awards is an annual event that celebrates the excellent work that Students, Associations, Corporate Institutions, and individuals across the country have done.
