Carlos Ahenkorah are much concern about the education and future of these young children and we as members of the NPP party must also do our bit to support the government through given hope and arms to the needy in the society" Nana Boakye stated.

The NPP Chairman again, called on the Tema west municipal assembly as a matter of urgency, construction fence wall in all the public schools in the municipality to secure and prevent squatters from disturbing the peace of staff and students and again, made appeal to other cooperate bodies to support the needy in the society.
