Friends of General Blay Nzemaland Education Trust Fund, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) operating in the Nzema area in the Western Region, has constructed a one-storey administration block for the Annor Adjaye Senior High School at Ezinlibo.

The project, which cost GH¢800,000, includes an Internet cafe, a computer laboratory and offices for the headmaster and his assistant.

It is the initiative of General Augustine Peter Blay, the immediate past Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS), who is currently Ghana's Ambassador to Cote d'Ivoire.

Inauguration

The Foreign Affairs Minister and Member of Parliament (MP) for Awutu-Senya West, Madam Hanna Tetteh, who inaugurated the building, urged students of the school to emulate the humanitarian spirit of General Blay and his friends.

She also urged them to study hard to become responsible adults in future to enable them to also contribute to the growth of the school.

The minister expressed appreciation to members of the NGO for their immense contribution in providing facilities for educational institutions to promote effective teaching and learning in the Nzema area.

She appealed to chiefs and natives of Nzema to contribute their respective quotas towards the development of education in the traditional area.

Advice

General Blay explained that the facilities were meant to inspire and encourage students to attain excellence in their studies advised them to reciprocate the gesture by taking their studies seriously.

Intervention

The Chairman of the management board of the NGO, Dan Borsor, indicated that the organisation had earlier provided the school with a 100KVA stand-by electricity generating plant.

It had also supplied large quantities of textbooks and computers to the school, he said.

Other beneficiary schools are the Half-Assini and the Nsein SHSs.

According to Mr Borsor, the NGO, which aims at promoting quality education in the area, was also sponsoring 30 brilliant, needy students from the area to receive tertiary education.
