Togbe Edem supports Adaklu senior high schools with foodstuff

The Etufia (War Lord) of Adaklu-Tsriefe in the Adaklu District of the Volta Region, Togbe Edem III, who is a seasoned farmer, has donated part of the harvest from his farms to the two senior high schools in the area.

The beneficiary schools are the Gbekor SHS at Adaklu-Abuadi and Adaklu SHS at Adaklu-Waya.

The items included bags of rice and corn, in addition to bags of gari, all worth about GHS 6,000.

Presenting the foodstuff to the Gbekor SHS on Monday (May 18), Togbe Edem, who is also an entrepreneur, said the gesture was to contribute to the comfort of the students and smooth learning on the campus.

He urged the students to study diligently towards a bright future and become worthy ambassadors of their alma mater.

Gratitude

For his part, an Assistant Headmaster of Gbekor SHS, Agbee Segbe, expressed gratitude for the donation and said it was very relieving and timely.

He said the school now had an enrolment of 333 and had ample space for more students.

The assistant headmaster said that, by the donation, Togbe Edem had demonstrated his concern for the welfare of the school.

Later in the day, at the Adaklu SHS, the Headmaster, Bright Agbesi-Akati, thanked Togbe Edem for the donation and said the school, with an enrolment of 1,172, needed furniture for the students, as well as a perimeter fence and a school bus.

Assurance

The District Chief Executive (DCE), Jerry Yaw Ameko, gave an assurance that efforts were underway to address some of the school’s pressing needs, especially the need for a school bus, park, and furniture, soon.

The head prefect of the school, Isis Nhyria Osakwe-Kokayi, thanked Togbe Edem for the gesture and said the students had no reason to sneak out to look for food.

She urged other public-spirited individuals to also support the school.
