Nana Kwame Essoah III, the Chief of Yediyesele in the Nzema Eastern Municipality of the Western Region, has said Ghana develops faster whenever the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is in power.
In his opinion, the NPP party has pragmatic policies that change lives and livelihoods, especially at the local level.
“Lots of governments have come into power. But what I have noticed is that, whenever NPP comes to power, they make sure that they bring development into our communities unlike other governments,” he noted.
The chief praised the NPP government at the inauguration of a new Junior High School classroom block, teachers’ office and an ICT centre constructed by the government for the Yediyesele community.
He said the farming community had its first primary school block and was connected to the national grid under the John Agyekum Kuffuor-led NPP government.
The chief also commended the Municipal Chief Executive, Frank Okpenyen, for his hard work in ensuring that the area had its fair share of the national cake.
“Sincerely speaking, our MCE has worked hard to change the municipality drastically.
“Most of the infrastructure was in deplorable states but through the hard work of our MCE, Yediyesele and the entire municipality had witnessed some kind of positive change,” he added.
He then appealed to the President to maintain Frank Okpenyen as the MCE to continue his good work.
“We promise to put the facilities to good use and we will also do our best to maintain them to serve generations yet unborn,” he pointed out.
For his part, the MCE, Frank Okpenyen, said the assembly had put in place the necessary measures to ensure that the school children adhered to the COVID-19 safety protocols and to ensure effective teaching and learning.
“I hope that as we have provided the school children with this new classroom block, electricity, new school uniforms, ICT centre and new nose masks among others, they will have no excuse but to learn hard to be able to excel in their Basic Education Certificate Examination (B.E.C.E).
