Dr Kwamigah-Atokple commissions AOGA ’76 legacy project at Aburi SHS

The Volta Region Council of State Member, Dr Gabriel Tanko Kwamigah-Atokple has commissioned a legacy project at Aburi Senior High School on behalf of the Aburi Old Girls Association (AOGA) Class of 1976, underscoring the critical role of alumni support in advancing quality education and social development.

The commissioning ceremony marked 50 years since the year group completed school and culminated in the handover of a newly constructed garage and other facilities designed to support the smooth operation of the school.

Dr Kwamigah-Atokple, who served as Special Guest of Honour, indicated that he deliberately cut short an important business trip to the United States to be part of the event.



“I made a deliberate decision to cut short an important business trip in the United States to be here this morning,” he said.

He added that the occasion aligns with his passion for education and social work.

Describing the initiative as a meaningful way of giving back, he noted that the project reflected what the AOGA 1976 Year Group’s “spirits love to do best — in our little way, in support of quality education and social work.”

He expressed particular satisfaction with the Tanko Foundation’s involvement in the project, stating that the foundation was pleased to support the initiative because its work is “anchored in education and youth development.”

Although an Ɔdadeɛ and an old boy of Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC), Dr Kwamigah-Atokple said the occasion was personally significant to him.

He paid glowing tribute to Aburi Girls Senior High School, describing it as “an institution that has, over generations, produced women of excellence and valour who continue to serve Ghana with distinction.”

He further commended the leadership of the AOGA 1976 Year Group for their vision and commitment to societal development.

“I commend the leadership of the AOGA 1976 Year Group, especially their President, Mrs Adelaide Anno-Akumi, for the vision of giving back to society,” he said in a post on his Facebook page.



The event brought together old students, school authorities and stakeholders, reinforcing the value of alumni-driven legacy projects in strengthening Ghana’s educational institutions and inspiring future generations.
