Dr. Bawumia Completes Presby Church Legacy Project Pledge... Pledges Aid to the Christian Community.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President, has inspected the construction of a classroom block for the Kwaboanta Presbyterian Junior High School (JHS) in the Eastern Region's Ayensuano District. The Vice-President is sponsoring the project, which is nearing completion, as part of his pledge to the Presbyterian Church.
Dr. Bawumia pledged to sponsor the construction of the JHS building for the Akuapem Presbytery to serve the people of Kwaboanta and its environs in response to the Church's decision to build legacy centenary anniversary projects during its centennial anniversary.
Dr. Bawumia, who visited the project site to check on its progress, directed the contractor to include a computer laboratory that he would provide once the project was completed. He thanked Almighty God for providing him with the guidance and strength to personally undertake the project, and he praised the Presbyterian Church of Ghana for its enormous contributions to Ghana's development.
The Vice President was accompanied by the Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Seth Kwame Acheampong, and some government officials.
Appreciation
In thanking the Vice-President, Rev A.L. Odai, Coaltar District Minister for the Presby Church, recalled how Dr. Bawumia was "touched by the Holy Spirit" to make the pledge to the Church and the community. "Mr. Vice President, I want to express how excited the children in this community are about this project and how grateful we are to you," he said.
"We are confident that the good Lord will assist you in completing to the glory of His name," Rev Odai added.
On behalf of his people, the chief of Kwaboanta thanked Dr. Bawumia for his thoughtfulness and generosity to the Church and the community.
