Mr Haruna was speaking in the Kumasi based OTEC 102.9 FM’s morning show Nyansapo on Tuesday February 7, 2023.
“Some of the students are currently learning in makeshift facilities with many under the mercy of the sun making it difficult for students to concentrate on their studies”, he told the programme’s host Captain Koda.
“The education Directorate has already requested about 3000 pieces of wood from the Forestry Department in the area but the entire work will need a lot of resources”
“We are therefore appealing to the government and all good will Ghanaians to help roof the buildings again”.
