After the inter-school quiz, the Chief Executive of the District, Maurice Jonas Woode, and officials from the Assembly joined the Muslims of the District to perform Friday prayers (jum?ah).
The priest and elders thanked the District Head for coming as part of the commemoration celebration. He offered his prayers for the Chief Executives of the Districts and districts in all, and gave his unwavering support to their activities.
They requested that an Islamic school be built in the community.
DCE Woode assured that the Assembly will look into his request and respond positively.
In the interview, the DCE gave insight into the establishment and development of Akrofuom District.
He noted that this district was established on March 15, 2018, due to long-standing suggestions due to the lack of development in the community.
Since it was carved out of Adasi Kidul District, it has witnessed significant growth and development in all sectors of the economy.
In the education sector, Dr. Woode highlighted the construction of 12 school blocks, with 10 already handed over and two still underway.
In addition, he said the district has a Director of Education who works to improve the standard of education in the district. The district has also set aside a package for brilliant students from poor families to help them continue their education. Furthermore, members of the DPR have also provided packages for students who excel in BECE results, including suitcases, mattresses, chop boxes, and other items.
In the Health sector, it said 4 CHPS compounds have been built and handed over, with more under construction through collaboration with the Japanese embassy in Ghana. He again said that hospitals that needed improvement had been repaired to improve standards. The district also deployed additional nurses and health officers to improve access to health.
“Before the establishment of the district, only ten out of more than 80 communities had access to electricity. However, since its establishment, more than forty (40) communities now have access to electricity.
MCE Woode stated that the establishment of Akrofuom District has brought significant improvements in the district.
He also revealed future development plans and called on all residents to work together to ensure the continued development and welfare of the district.
