THE Anglican Archbishop of the Province of West Africa, Most Rev. Dr Justice Ofei Akrofi, has commissioned two development projects at Akramaman in the Ga West Municipality.
The projects, a six-classroom block and a clinic worth about GH¢102,000 is to serve the Akramaman community and its neighbouring communities with basic education and health services.
It was built by the Anglican Diocese of Accra, with support from the Ghana Mothers Hope Incorporated, an NGO in the United States of America (USA).
The classroom block which is to accommodate children from primary one to six adds up to the already built basic schools in the community, but the clinic is the first in the community.
A mini durbar of the chiefs and people of the of Akramaman and its neighbouring communities was held on the school compound to grace the occasion.
In his remarks, Rev. Dr Akrofi encouraged Ghanaians to help themselves to acquire the needed facilities in their communities.
He also entreated them to engage in activities that would enhance peace and development in the country.
For her part, the Chief Executive Officer of Ghanaian Mothers Hope Incorporated, Mrs Debie Frock, expressed appreciation to all who assisted in the development of the projects and assured the Anglican Church of her organisation’s continuous support in providing the needs of the less privileged in society.
She had earlier been installed as the queen of Akramaman with the stool name ‘Naa Shika’ due to her benevolent services towards the development of the community.
The District Chief Executive of Ga West, Nii Armah Tackie, in his address, observed that the completion of the projects were a blessing from God through the Anglican Church and the Mothers Hope Incorporated for the people of Akramaman.
According to him, the community was one of the most peaceful in the district.
