According to the MP, over 20 basic schools in the Constituency are without furniture thereby affecting the quality of education in the area.

The MP who is a member of the Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs Committee of Parliament said the donation is in line with his vision to boost quality education which remains one of the most solid building blocks for development.

He added that it had become pertinent for him to ensure that the children had access to quality education and an enabling environment for excellent learning, emphasizing, “in order to accelerate our children’s access to world-class academic learning, we have to aggressively embark on the provision of desks for of the schools without furniture .”

Hon Seidu explained that education remained the bedrock of development and that, with an adequate supply of desks, our children could have access to quality education, irrespective of their location.

He assured that by the end of his four-year term, he would create an effective atmosphere for conducive learning by continuing to provide basic infrastructure, so students of the constituency could compete favourably in the national examinations.

He, therefore, urged community leaders, school administrators, staff and pupils/students of basic schools within Wenchi to ensure that miscreants did not destroy or cart away the property of the schools.
