CHRISTIAN SERVICE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE NEEDS FUNDS

-


    The management of the Christian Service University College in Kumasi has organized a float as part of activities planned to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the founding of the University College. The Float was participated by both staff members and students of the school as they went through selected major streets of Kumasi amidst brass band and gospel music. From the Campus at Odeneho Kwadaso, the participants went through the Santasi Round About through the Old Asante Bekwai Round About, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Adum, Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, Nhyiaeso, Ahodwo and back to the campus. The participants used the opportunity to distribute free fliers and stickers about the school to residents along the routes. Addressing the staff and students after the float, the President of CSUC, Professor Mrs. Frances Owusu-Daaku, explained that the event was to create public awareness about the school and the 40th anniversary which will be climaxed with a special congregation in December this year. Professor Mrs. Owusu-Daaku said as an evangelical educational institution, CSUC is very much committed to playing a meaningful role in Ghana’s overall formal educational development objective by adopting policies and programmes aimed at empowering the youth through effective and good teaching, research and service. She noted that the special congregation in December will also be used to raise funds to complete the school’s Information and Communication Technology Library Complex as well as provide more scholarship to support brilliant but needy students of the institution. Professor Mrs. Owusu-Daaku therefore appealed to all stakeholders of the school, particularly the old students, friends both at home and abroad to achieve the set target. The school will also organize a clean-up exercise at Trede along the Kumasi-Anwiankwanta highway next month as part of the anniversary activities.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
