During that period if any defects were noticed the contractor would be made to do the repairs before all his money would be paid to him. He said 20 SHSs in the region were expected to benefit from the construction of such infrastructure. Mrs Elizabeth De-Souza, Northern Regional Director of Education, said the Ghana Education Service would set up a monitoring team to ensure that the school blocks were properly maintained. 26 Nov 10
