Ussif Mustapha, MP for Yagaba-Kubori, has donated 150 dual desks to the Yizesi Primary School in the North East Region’s Mamprugu Moaduri District.
The MP’s donation came after he noticed that the pupils in the lower and the upper primary schools still sit on the floor to lay down on their stomachs to write in the classrooms.
The furniture comprises 100 wooden dual desks and 50 metal dual desk furniture which were handed over to the Ghana Education Service to facilitate teaching and learning in the school.
The pupils can now heave a sigh of relief after the intervention of the Member of Parliament for the area, Ussif Mustapha.
The MP during the donation of the furniture urged the teachers in the school to always monitor the progress of the pupils to avert poor performance in the constituency.
Meanwhile, the residents who joined the MP to donate the furniture to the school have urged him to reexamine the Yizesi teacher quarters as a matter of urgency to facilitate the renovation works on it which currently has been stalled after it was awarded to a native contractor.
Speaking to the District Chief Executive for the area about the plight of the residents regarding the teacher quarters, Abu Adams claimed that the contractor has not done the work expected of him to deserve full payment hence, causing the unfinished renovation works on it.
“The contractor is expected to do the work and prepare a certificate for payment which is why it is a contract. There is a level of work that the contractor will do and request for payment.
“There is a team that will go to inspect it, whether he is due for payment or what he has done qualifies for payment. You don’t just pay a contractor because he has requested for money. You will go to measure the work done,” Abu Adams said.
Asaase News is learning that some teachers have refused postings to the community due to the deplorable state of the only teachers’ quarter there.
