First lady inaugurates child development centre

The First Lady, Mrs Theresah Kufuour, on Sunday cut a tape for the laying of a foundation stone for a ?135m early Childhood Development Centre at Amasaman.

Kufuor said the development of the nation depends on children's ability to have a sound education from their infancy in order to become good leaders in future.

Samuel Nii Aryeetey Attoh, the Ga District Chief executive, who assisted the first lady to cut the tape, said the European Union (EU) has given out ?60m for the project initiated by 'Mother Childhood,' an NGO.

Nii Amasah Oseiku II, chief of Amasaman, congratulated both the first lady and the DCE for facilitating the project and promised to give out land for other meaningful development projects.
