The Builsa North Municipal Chief Executive Hon Vida Akantagriwon Anaab on Friday 13th January,2022 presented 200 dual desks to the Builsa North Municipal Education Directorate for onwards distribution to schools in the Municipality to enhance teaching and learning.
The furniture which was procured from the District Assembly's common fund will help reduce the furniture deficit in the Municipality.
In a short ceremony at the works department of the Assembly to hand over the furniture, the MCE expressed the hope that the furniture will add some value to beneficiary schools to enhance effective teaching and learning. She advised that the furniture should be distributed to schools which are in dire need of furniture as some schools in the Municipality have more furniture than others.
Hon. Akantagriwon stressed the commitment of government and the assembly towards ensuring quality education for all and urged parents to also take a keen interest in their wards' education. She also advised the Education Directorate to take good care of the furniture to ensure longer lifespan.
The Municipal Education Director Mad. Victoria Aganalie Mahama in receiving the furniture expressed gratitude to the government and the MCE saying,the gesture would go a long way to improve teaching and learning as children will no longer lie on their bellies to write as well as enhancing their handwriting.
She assured the MCE that the Municipal Education Directorate has a data base that they will rely on to ensure an effective distribution of the furniture to schools that are really in need of furniture.
In a related development, the Municipal Chief executive also handed over two tricycle ambulances procured by the Northern Development authority to the Ghana Health Service to help enhance health delivery in the Municipality.
The MCE in handing over the ambulances entreated the Municipal health directorate to ensure that the ambulances are given to communities that are far from the Municipal capital to help transport pregnant women, Children and the aged to the district hospital for prompt attention. She charged them to ensure proper maintenance of the ambulances to prolong their life span.
The Municipal Disease Control officer Mr. Thomas Akolaaga who received the ambulances on behalf of the Municipal Health director, thanked the MCE and the Northern Development authority for the gesture saying, the design of the ambulances would really serve the purpose of transporting pregnant women and patients in urgent need of healthcare as in most instances they are often transported on single motorbikes which further exacerbate their condition.
He added that, the ambulances would be given to communities far from the Municipal capital who are often faced with the challenge of getting transport to the Municipal hospital whenever they are in need of urgent health care.
