The Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, has officially launched 30 development projects in the Afadjato South District to help improve living conditions for residents.
The projects were launched during a sod-cutting and handing-over ceremony attended by the Member of Parliament for the area, Frank Afriyie, the District Chief Executive, Manfred Tawiah, traditional leaders, and members of the community.
The projects cover several important sectors, including education, healthcare, roads, water supply, and telecommunications. They are expected to improve access to essential services and support development across the district.
In the education sector, the government is constructing a three-unit Junior High School classroom block with a staff common room and a head teacher’s office at Kpeve Old Town D/A School.
Similar classroom blocks with staff rooms and head teachers’ offices are also being built at Goviefe Agordome, Woadze Tsatoe D/A Basic School, and Lomnava Nyive/Hove AME Zion Primary School.
These projects are expected to reduce overcrowding in classrooms and create a better learning environment for students.
At Logba Horglikope D/A Primary School, a two-unit kindergarten block is also under construction. The facility will include an office, a store, a servery, washrooms, and a courtyard to provide a safe and comfortable learning space for young pupils.
In the health sector, a fully equipped Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound with nurses’ quarters is being built at Agate. The facility will bring important healthcare services, including maternal care, closer to people living in the area.
Several road projects have also been awarded within the district. These include the Kpeve–Goviefe Todzi Road, Nyangbo Konda Road, Logba Alakpeti–Klikpo Road, and the Logba Vuinta–Leklebi Dafor Road.
When completed, these roads will improve transportation, make it easier to move goods and people, and support growth in areas such as tourism, healthcare, education, and local businesses.
Mr Gunu also revealed that efforts are being made to solve the long-standing water shortage in Ve-Golokuati through collaboration between the Member of Parliament and the District Chief Executive.
In addition, the government is working to improve telecommunications network coverage in some parts of the district. To increase access to clean water, 30 mechanised boreholes are also being drilled and installed in several communities.
These boreholes are expected to provide safe drinking water, reduce water-borne diseases, and make it easier for residents, especially women and children, to get water.
Mr Gunu said the projects are part of the government’s broader plan to improve social infrastructure and enhance the quality of life for people in the Afadjato South District.
He added that the initiatives show the government’s commitment to expanding access to essential services and promoting development across communities in the area.
