GNPC commissions new 3-unit school block for Tebrebe MA Basic School The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) Foundation has commissioned a 3-unit classroom Block for Tebrebe MA Basic School in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipality of the Western Region. At a short ceremony to hand over the facility, the Executive Director of the Foundation, Dr. Dominic Eduah, said “the facility is one of 141 classroom blocks funded by GNPC in several communities across the country under its School Infrastructure Project with the aim of supporting schools in dire need of such infrastructure to enhance the quality of teaching and learning.” Dominic Eduah, Executive Director, GNPC Foundation Highlighting the foundation’s interventions in the Tarkwa municipality, Dr. Eduah recounted other GNPC intervention programs to include a 3-Unit Classroom Block and an Astroturf at Dompim, a community market at Adieye, and a 3-unit classroom block at Wassa Simpa. Dignitaries present at the function included the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tarkwa-Nsuaem who is also the Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, George Mireku Duker, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Tarkwa-Nsuaem, Benjamin Kesse, the Chief of Tebrebe, Nana Kwadwo Mina II and the Municipal Director of Education, Edmond Aggrey-Forson. Nana Kwadwo Mina II, on behalf of the people of Tebrebre, thanked GNPC for its investments in education across the country and of which his community has benefited. He said the intervention is one that would mitigate a major challenge the school faces with overcrowding and its attendant pressure on existing infrastructure. However, he took this opportunity to ask the Foundation to help establish a school's ICT center to ease the current burden of providing just five computers to more than 500 students. MCE's Kesse praised GNPC's role as a development partner at both the national and local levels and encouraged other organizations to do the same. Duker thanked GNPC for listening to the community's request for assistance in providing classroom blocks, keeping the facility clean and, most importantly, working hard at school. I urged the students to show their gratitude. The city's Director of Education, Aggrey-Forson, assured GNPC that the facility was used for the intended purpose of improving education and learning and that his institution would secure the facility.
