President Akufo-Addo cut sod for the construction of the Creative Arts School in 2019
Works on the Creative Arts Senior High School (SHS) in the Kwadaso Municipality are in progress, courtesy four different contractors who have been engaged for construction.
The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Kwadaso, Richmond Agyenim Boateng, stated that government is determined to complete the school as planned.
“That is why we have four different contractors on site who have specific projects to complete on site,” the Kwadaso MCE disclosed.
President Nana Akufo-Addo, supported by Education Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, cut the sod for the construction to start some months ago.
The Creative Arts SHS, the first of its kind in the country, the President explained during the sod-cutting ceremony, “will boost the creative arts industry in the country.”
Highlighting the works done so far at the construction site, the Kwadaso MCE stated that the four contractors who have been engaged by government are living up to expectation so far.
According to him, the project is dear to the heart of government, especially President Nana Akufo-Addo, who wants the school to be completed as scheduled.
In this regard, Mr. Agyenim Boateng said the contractors continued working even when Kumasi was partially locked down for three weeks due to the deadly COVID-19.
He indicated that the contractors have sustained their hard work after the lifting of the lockdown, adding, “Workers and visitors are tested for COVID-29 before entering the site.”
