The District Chief Executive Officer (DCE) for Amasie South District in the Ashanti Region, Clement Opoku Gyamfi has charged parents to send their children to school instead of taking them to mining sites.
Addressing the chiefs and people of Adubia, the Mr Opoku Gyamfi, popularly known as CID, who is also the youngest DCE in President Akufo Addo’s government, called on parents to prioritise their children’s education over all other things.
“We all attest that this is a mining community but I entreat and encourage our parents not to let their children ignore this nice edifice that can produce future Presidents, ministers and officers of this country like myself to go to the mining sites,” he said.
He said this while addressing an event to mark the commissioning of an ultra modern three unit classroom block fitted with other ancillary facilities such as an office, a store room, six seater toilet and a mechanised borehole for the people of Adubia.
The DCE thanked the Methodist Church for their vision and support for education by initiating the establishment of the school and encouraged the people to maintain the facility properly.
Amansie South is a District in the Ashanti Region with Manso Adubia as its capital.
It is a huge mining community that has seen some incredible transformation under the leadership of the DCE who is poised to change the narratives of the area from one known for its galamsey to a strong educational hub.
