Gomoa Ojobi gets 2,000-seater community centre

A 2000-seater community centre has been built for the chiefs and people of Gomoa Ojobi in the Gomoa East District in the Central Region.

The facility was constructed by a stone quarry in the community, Executive Quarry Limited.

At the inauguration of the centre, the Director of Executive Quarry Limited, Jhorge Sam, said the social centre was not just a building but a symbol of what could be achieved when communities and corporate entities worked hand in hand for mutual progress. 

Essence

“At Executive Quarry Limited, we firmly believe that the essence of corporate social responsibility lies in investing in the lives of the people we serve and the communities we operate in.

“This facility will be a place for community gatherings, such as a centre for learning, hosting educational programmes, cultural celebrations, youth development activities, health campaigns, and much more,” he said.

Mr Sam said the project was a result of meaningful dialogue and collaboration between the company and the people of the community. “We value your suggestions and support you have provided every step of the way. Your input has been crucial in shaping this centre to meet your unique needs and aspirations.

“To our traditional leaders and community elders, your wisdom and guidance have been invaluable. You remind us of the importance of preserving the culture and heritage of our people while embracing progress,” he said.

Ownership

Mr Sam urged all residents to take ownership of the facility, ensuring its maintenance, protection and effective use.

“Together, let us keep this centre vibrant and impactful for years to come. Additionally, we at Executive Quarry Limited remain committed to fostering further development in this region.

Today’s inauguration is not the end but a chapter in an ongoing partnership aimed at improving lives and building a brighter future,” he said.

He thanked the Chief of Gomoa Ojobi, Nana Atta Kakra IX, the project committee members, the construction teams, the project managers and everyone who contributed to bringing the vision to life.

“Your hard work and dedication are deeply appreciated. As we cut the ribbon today, let it signify not just the opening of a building but the dawn of a new era for this community — a future full of promise, resilience and success,” he said.

Nana Atta Kakra IX thanked the firm for constructing the facility, saying it would go a long way to help strengthen the bond with the people.
