The opinion leader commended the Ga District Assembly for the construction of a school and library blocks in the town, which, he said, would enhance teaching and learning in the area.

He said a land had been offered to the assembly for the construction of a sports complex to improve the quality of sports activities in the area and appealed to the World Vision International, a non-governmental organisation to come to their aid in support of education structures and other meaningful developmental projects.
