Pusu-Namongo climaxes festival with extension of electricity to School

Pusu-Namongo(U/E) , Nov.16, GNA- The Chief and people of Pusu-Namongo have climaxed the celebration of “Daa” festival with the extension of electricity to a new Junior High School in the area.

This year's celebration under the theme “Education for Development and Culture” saw the community contributing to the extension of electricity to the school.

Inaugurating the project the Chief of the area, Naab Kumbelum Saa, said he and his people were pleased the government had built a Junior High School in the community and that this would put a stop to pupils having to walk long distances and cross streams to go to school.

He said the community would continue to support teachers in the school and appealed to the government to provide the area with a fully fledged Junior High School instead of the temporary structure.

The District Chief Executive for the Talensi, Mr Edward Awunnore, said the government was committed to rural electrification and that the area would be connected.

He said plans were advanced to build a craft village in the area to empower weavers particularly women and to also build a permanent Junior High School for the area.
