Volta River Authority Resettlement Trust Fund Secretariat has signed the maiden project maintenance agreement with the Asuogyaman District Assembly in the Eastern Region with the resettlement communities to benefit from the projects.

The New Senchi VRA Resettlement community received a modern school canteen whilst Mpakadam VRA Resettlement community received a six-unit self-contained teachers’ bungalow in the Asuogyaman District fully funded by the VRA Trust Fund. 

The Board Chairman of the Trust Fund, Justice Emmanuel Nana Antwi Barimah (retd), during the commissioning, stated that the Asuogyaman District is fortunate to have more development projects from the fund.

He said that there were also other resettlement communities that would need some of the VRA projects.

He said that the Trust Fund secretariat had made available all resource needed to complete the Apeguso three-unit classroom block with ancillary facilities for the JHS which is currently under construction and should be ready by the beginning of the next academic year.

Samuel Kwame Agyekum, the DCE for Asuogyaman, expressed his appreciation to the current leadership of the fund for responding to the infrastructural needs of the resettlement communities in his district.

The Executive Director of the VRA Resettlement Trust Fund, Richard Twum Barimah Koranteng, said they would work assiduously to get the communities decent projects.
