Nkroful Agricultural SHS gets $1.2m Assembly Hall

The hall, with all the necessary facilities, built through the instrumentality of an old student, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, would facilitate social and academic activities in the school.
It was commissioned by the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Ellembelle, Kwasi Bonzo; with the assistance of Awulae Attibrukusu (III), an old student and former Vice-President of the National House of Chiefs; Egbert Faibille, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Petroleum Commission; and Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, Member of Parliament for Ellembelle. 
Addressing students and staff of the school before the commissioning of the facility, the District Chief Executive, Kwasi Bonzo, said the assembly hall would provide adequate space for social activities in terms of gathering of students to improve teaching and learning in the school. 
He commended Armah Kofi Buah as the representative of the people for lobbying Yinson Productions, an oil and gas company to provide the financial support required to shoulder the project.
He appealed to present students in the school never to turn their back on their alma mater after graduating knowing how significant their individual contributions can make in the life of the school. 
He, therefore, tasked the students to emulate the shining example of the former Minister for Petroleum, who left the school many years ago and returned with the magnificent project.
Awulae Attibrukusu, paramount chief of Lower Axim in the Nzema East Municipality, who chaired the function, eulogised the MP for demonstrating an amplifying commitment to the development of his constituency and Nzemaland in general.

As an old student of the school himself, he, on behalf of past and present students, thanked Yinson Productions and the lawmaker for actualising the dream of the school to have an ultramodern assembly hall with multipurpose functions capable of assisting the school’s activities. 
The Chief Executive Officer of Petroleum Commission, Egbert Faibille, in an address, pointed out that sustainable development in the oil and gas industry would hinge on the strength of the relationship companies would build with local communities, and, therefore, called for closer ties between the two to make the industry vibrant.
He catalogued a number of interventions engineered by government to proactively curtail looming challenges likely to hamper progress of the promising industry. 
These interventions, he said, include an introduction of capacity building programmes for local players in the industry, vocational, technical and skills training of manpower for the industry, connecting relevant institutions to opportunities in the industry and closing the yawning gap between the industry and educational institutions in the country.
Speaking at the function, Kofi Buah said he was humbled by the open commendations.
He promised to remain a humble servant for the people of Ellembelle, and assured his constituents of his determination to continue to make meaningful contributions to the development of education in the constituency.
For him, education would remain the yardstick to measure how effective the Ellembelle District would be able to churn out quality human resources capable of assisting nation building.
