A block of three-unit clbadrooms, with ancillary facilities and an isolated place of indulgence, built by the North Tongu District Assembly for Milenu Primary School, was given to the inhabitants of Milenu.

However, the school deals only with clbades 1 to 3, clbades 4 to 6 and the kindergarten still remaining under the trees that served as a clbadroom from the 1960s.

With a student population of about 200 people and four teachers, the school, apart from Milenu, also serves the communities of Yidetsi, Fulanikope and Kpokbadu.

Mr Richard Collins Arku, District Director (DCE) of the region, inaugurating the premises, said the last additional blocks would soon be built to eliminate the school of trees.

He said the government was ready to build school infrastructure in the country, including in Tongu North District, to improve the teaching and learning, as well as the quality of the school. # 39; education.

The WFD decried the case where clbades end abruptly and where teachers and students use their furniture and books with their furniture and books when the rains are less threatening.

Mr. Arku told the enthusiastic members of the community to ignore the critics of the government, which, he said, did so deliberately, even though he knew the government was keeping its election promises.

He added that many school blocks had been completed or were in construction stages in his district, in addition to projects in other areas.

Mr. Arku advised citizens to pbadionately pay their taxes, base rates and property taxes in order to improve the funds generated internally by the Assembly in order to accelerate development.

Mr. Isaac Gada, Assembly member for the region, congratulated the Assembly on this project and urged the WFD to complete the total number of clbadrooms that will allow the school to end its more than 50 years of exploitation under trees.

He also called for the creation of a junior high school so that students perform rigorous trekking on more than seven kilometers a day to access the nearest JHS from Juapong after they leave elementary school in Milenu.

The badembler member also used additional teachers for the school.

Gada said many students finish their studies early after primary school, while those who continue their education in Juapong at JHS have often been absent, especially during the rainy season, when the roads leading to the communities in the region were flooded by overflowing creeks.

He called for the construction of a culvert over Horli Creek, flooded by rains, cutting Milenu from the rest of the district, banning access from vehicles and motorcycles and limiting mainly the movement of traders and students.
