Apexnewsgh.com report
The information gathered by Apexnewsgh.com from the School Headmistress says, the Assemblyman of the Tindonsobligo electoral area and the people of Tindonsobligo especially parents are aware of the predicaments.
During the heat of the rainy season, our investigation reveals that all the school roofs were licking from the top to the classrooms and the office of the Headmistress received the highest share of the regrettable disaster because most of the official materials and some documents were destroyed by the rains.
However, it is no more news that as soon as it starts raining, both school pupils and their teachers have nowhere to hide.
Meanwhile, when Apexnewsgh.com contacted the Assemblyman in charge of the electoral area Thomas Apaala, he acknowledge knowing about the school’s predicaments.
He said, at the initial stage he was thinking of changing the zinc but when the Assembly engineer came he said the school needs to be renovated, and there is nothing they could do again.
“I will get a carpenter to see if we can take those bad ones away if the cost will be beyond my control”. The Assemblyman promised
“Since the inception of the school, there has not been any renovation”.
Narrating his encounter with Mr. Isaac Adongo the Bolga Central MP, the Assemblyman said “I met the MP to see what we can do. So, we went to the Assembly and brought one engineer to do an estimate and it was even then I got to know that the issue wasn’t necessarily about changing zinc, but the engineer said the school needs total renovation. So, when we send the estimate and sent to the Assembly, the MP was to use part of his common Fund to do the renovation but I think the Common Fund these days is not coming as expected and on the Assembly budget of the year, it was loaded, and they could not capture it as part of the project”.
Meanwhile, our several calls and messages to Mr. Isaac Adongo as a way of following up on the issue, have not been answered or responded to. The Headmistress and teachers at the school say they fear for their lives. They are appealing to Mr. Adongo and other well meaning Ghanaians to come to their aid before things get out of hand.
