Nana Ameyaw Yeboah II, Chief of Sikaa, a farming community in Nkoranza District of Brong-Ahafo Region, has presented a 21 inch coloured television set to authorities of the local Presbyterian Primary School.

The television set valued at GHC 180 is to help improve effective and efficient distance teaching and learning among the pupils.

Nana Yeboah had earlier presented a ceiling fan worth GHC 25 to the school.

Presenting the item, Nana Yeboah, who is also Krontihene of Gyaase Division of Nkoranza Traditional Council, expressed concern about the poor performance of pupils in the area in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
