Winneba to benefit from library complex

Winneba, June 25, GNA - The Omanhene of the Effutu Traditional Area, Neenyi Ghartey VII, and Rev. Dr. Christopher Hamlin of the Tabernacle Baptist Church Birmingham, USA, on Sunday jointly cut a tape for the construction of a 200,000-dollar library for Winneba. The project, being financed by the Tabernacle Baptist Church Birmingham, USA, would enable people in Winneba, especially school children, to access the Internet.

Speaking at the ceremony Rev. Dr. Hamlin said 15,000 dollars had been advanced to the project implementation committee to enable work to start immediately.

He expressed the hope that by next year June work on the project would have reached an advanced stage.

Neenyi Ghartey expressed appreciation to Rev. Dr. Hamlin and members of the church in the USA and assured them of a purposeful utilization of the money allocated for the project. Neenyi Ghartey also extended gratitude to leaders of the Winneba branch of the World Miracle Church, especially Mrs. Atta Bison, a senior lecturer at the University of Education, Winneba for their role in making the project a reality.

He appealed to wealthy Effutu citizens, companies and other donor agencies to contribute financially and materially toward the speedy completion of the project.

Neenyi Ghartey expressed regret that although Winneba is an ancient town blessed with a number of institutions including the University of Education, Winneba, the Police Training Depot and the Community Health Training School the community lacks a modern library to help these learners.

Mr. Samuel Owusu-Agyei, the Deputy Minister of Health and MP for Effutu, expressed gratitude to all those, through whose efforts, the project is being implemented.
