The project, which involves the demolishing of an uncompleted block as well as the construction of the new block, comes at a cost of GHS 2.5 Million and it is expected to be completed within a year. The Chief Executive Officer of the Enterprise Group, Keli Gadzekpo, in his remarks at the sod-cutting ceremony said, “this school project gives me pleasure for two simple reasons; 1. We believe that an investment in the youth is an investment in our collective future so any money spent on youth education is money well spent. 2. This community has hosted the Enterprise Group Head Office for many years, providing a very friendly and cordial environment. It is only in order, therefore that we chose this school, our next-door neighbour, to be the recipient of our most capital-intensive social investment project yet.
