MANSO NKWANTA DEVELOPMENT

-


Construction of a Nursing and Midwifery Training College is to begin this year at Mpatuam in the Amansie West district of Ashanti to expand access to nursing and midwifery training in the country. 

The project, to be jointly funded by the MP for Manso Nkwanta, Joseph Quarm and his business partners at a cost of 40 thousand Dollars, is to augment government’s efforts at improving manpower development for the health sector.

 The MP announced this at a town hall meeting with his constituents at Manso Nkwanta, the district capital. It was the first time the MP was meeting to interact with his constituents since his assumption of duty in January this year.

 He used that opportunity to update the people on the efforts he has since been making to speed up the district’s socio-economic development. 

Mr. Quarm noted that the nursing and midwifery training school will admit about two thousand students in the first year to serve also as an avenue for the senior high school graduates in the district to further their education. 

Touching on other development issues, the MP told the constituents that he is working very hard to win the construction of an Activated Carbon project also in the district that could create about 20 thousand job opportunities for the people.

 Mr. Quarm assured the people that with the government’s policy to remit the Cedi equivalent of one million Dollars to each district, there will be adequate funds available for many development projects to be executed to raise the status of the Amansie West district, which, despite its vast size. 

The district, which has two constituencies, Manso Nkwanta and Manso Adubia, is a major producer of food crops and cocoa.

 However, it is arguably one of the most deprived districts in the country with just a few kilometers of bitumen-surfaced road. 

The MP said he has already made contacts with development partners for the construction of a Lorry Terminal complex that would comprise a Market.

 He therefore appealed for the support of all the people, especially the traditional leaders in his efforts to bring development to the area.

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
