Prof Ameyaw Akumfi funds ICT Laboratory project

The Techiman North Member of Parliament(MP) Professor Christopher Ameyaw Akumfi, has asked Ghanaians to make education a top-most priority to accelerate national development. The MP said the key to every nation's developmental success is an effective educational structure, hence the need to pay critical attention to our country's educational reforms for posterity.

Professor Ameyaw Akumfi was addressing the inauguration of the internet connectivity facility at Akumfi-Ameyaw Senior High Technical School in Techiman. The GHc 70,000 project, funded from the MP's Common Fund would benefit other schools including Tuobodom Senior High, Buoyem Senior High and Offuman Senior High Schools. The MP emphasised that the project would help bridge the rural-urban gap and the expansion of the students' easy accessibility to information through the internet. He explained the need for internet to enhance fast and easy information in research and references and entreated the students to use the facility profitably.

Prof Akumfi appealed the instructors to closely monitor the students in order not to abuse the facility. Prof Akumfi encouraged the students to take their studies seriously and to take advantage of the numerous facilities at their disposal and avoid absenteeism, acts of indiscipline and sexual promiscuity, in order to attain academic excellence.
