The 2000-year group of Prempeh College, known as Millennium Amanfoo, has broken ground for the construction and rehabilitation of the school’s iconic canopy walkway, a GH₵1.5million legacy project designed to improve movement and access across campus.
The sod-cutting ceremony, held on Friday, October 10, 2025, marked the beginning of a project that will extend the existing walkway to serve more students, particularly those in the Arthur Clark and Matthew Opoku Prempeh Houses, who currently lack direct access to it. The walkway enables students to move comfortably between key facilities even during harsh weather conditions, making it a vital part of daily life at the school.
Speaking at the event, Mrs Christine Ababio Trovel, Assistant Headmistress (Domestic), commended the Millennium Amanfoo for their generosity and foresight, noting that the walkway would significantly enhance student safety and convenience. “We are deeply grateful to Millennium Amanfoo for this initiative. It will ease movement across campus and improve the overall experience for our students. We pray for its successful completion,” she said.
The ceremony’s Special Guest of Honour, Snr Akwasi Agyeibi Prempeh, grandson of the school’s founder, Otumfuo Sir Osei Agyemang Prempeh II, underscored the significance of giving back to one’s alma mater. He described the project as a continuation of the founders’ vision and called on all alumni to support the initiative. “This walkway is more than just concrete; it is a pathway of continuity, connecting our proud past to an even brighter future,” he said.
Snr Prempeh highlighted the school’s heritage of sacrifice and service, reminding attendees that the legacy of Prempeh College was built by individuals who believed in collective progress. He later performed the sod-cutting to officially commence construction of the project.
The Chairman of the Fundraising Committee, Snr Kofi Ntiamoah Frimpong, urged fellow old students to contribute generously to the project. “Let us dig deep and let our financial resources help build the next J.A. Kufuor our nation will be proud of,” he appealed, referencing one of the school’s most distinguished alumni, former President John Agyekum Kufuor.
Snr Roland Kwadwo Akomeah, President of Millennium Amanfoo, reaffirmed the group’s determination to see the project through to completion despite earlier challenges. “This project symbolises our gratitude to the school that shaped us. We are committed to finishing it and call on corporate bodies, philanthropists, and individuals to join us in making this vision a reality,” he said.
Contractors from Gridlines Investment presented an artist’s impression of the project and assured stakeholders of timely completion by December 2025, when the group celebrates its 25th anniversary.
The event, hosted by Snr Yaw Adu-Gyamfi, brought together school authorities, students, contractors, and members of Millennium Amanfoo. The project is expected to be commissioned during the group’s homecoming in December, marking a new chapter in Prempeh College’s infrastructure development and alumni legacy.
