From George Ernest Asare, Namong

The Management of UNI-JAY Fashion Designing Company has donated 200 bags of cement towards the construction of a 12-unit one-storey classroom block at the Namong Senior High School.
The donation, valued at GH¢2,500, was in response to a distress call by the school authorities for support to enable the school develop the needed infrastructure to enhance effective and efficient academic work in the school.
The project would enable the school to offer accommodation to fresh students during the 2010/2011 academic year.
Mr Elias Owusu-Ansah, Accountant of UNI-JAY, who donated the items on behalf of the company, said the gesture formed part of the company’s corporate responsibilities to improve teaching and learning in the school.
He said apart from the Namong SHS, the company had also supported other schools such as Prempeh College by refurbishing their science laboratory.
He said they had also donated choir robes to Opoku Ware SHS to encourage the students in their quest to develop their talents in music.
Mr Owusu-Ansah assured that the company would continue to establish cordial relationships with academic institutions in the country to enable them realise their objectives of raising academic standards in the country.
Mr Richmond Edward Carl Amoah, Headmaster of Namong SHS, who received the items, commended UNI-JAY Fashion Designs for the quick response.
He explained that the one-storey 12-unit classroom block initiated by the school authorities was estimated at GH¢100,000.00
He said the school had constructed a five-unit classroom block at an estimated cost of GH¢50,000.00 to reduce congestion among students and also enable them cope with the challenges of the final year students, who would write their examination next year.
Mr Amoah said Mr Ben Abdallah, Offinso South Member of Parliament, has supported the school’s development initiative with 50 bags of cement and 10 packets of roofing sheets
“Similarly, the school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is spending over GH¢30,000 towards the construction of a one-storey girls dormitory block in preparation of the admission of girls for the next academic year,” he noted.
