Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has taken proactive steps to address the furniture shortage in schools within the West Mamprusi Municipality. Responding to a request made by the Municipal Assembly in collaboration with the West Mamprusi Municipal Education Oversight Committee, Vice President Bawumia has ordered the construction of 5,280 Dual Desk furniture units to support 66 schools in the area.
Mr. Arimeyaw Somo Lucky Basintale, the Municipal Chief Executive for Walewale, confirmed this development in a statement issued on Tuesday. The initiative aims to provide much-needed support to about 10,000 pupils across various schools in the municipality.
This marks the second time Vice President Bawumia has intervened to support education infrastructure in the region within the past three years. In 2022, he provided 1,000 Dual Desks to the District Assembly for distribution, demonstrating a sustained commitment to addressing educational needs.
In addition to directing the construction of the furniture, Vice President Bawumia instructed that local artisans from the municipality be engaged to undertake the construction work. This decision not only addresses the furniture shortage but also contributes to local economic development by providing employment opportunities within the community.
Furthermore, Vice President Bawumia directed the Ministry of Education to assist the remaining schools in the district facing furniture challenges, ensuring comprehensive support to improve learning environments across the municipality.
