The donation ceremony, held on the school premises, brought together traditional leaders, school authorities, and community members, all of whom expressed deep appreciation for the MP’s timely intervention.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the school, Nana Kofi Darko III, Kontihene of Nkawie, who stood in for Nkawie Kumaa Hene, Otumfuo Brempong Baffour Akoto, commended Hon. Shirley Kyei for honouring her promise to the school. He noted that the gesture demonstrates her responsiveness and dedication to the community’s development needs, particularly in the education sector.
“We are grateful for this support. The safety of our children has been a major concern since the wall collapsed. Today, Hon. Shirley Kyei has shown that leadership is about action, not words,” Nana Kofi Darko III stated.
The MP, in her address, reiterated the importance of creating a secure and conducive learning environment for students. She emphasized that school safety is not a luxury but a necessity, adding that her commitment to the educational growth of the youth remains unwavering.
“Our children are our most valuable assets, and they deserve to learn in a safe and protected space. This donation is part of my broader commitment to support educational institutions across the constituency and to ensure that no student is left behind due to poor infrastructure,” Hon. Kyei noted.
She also encouraged the students to remain disciplined and focused on their studies, assuring them of her continuous support. “The government, traditional leaders, and parents are playing their parts. I urge you all to study hard and aim for excellence. Education remains the key to unlocking your potential,” she added.
Headmaster of Nkawie SHTS, Mr. John Mensah, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the MP, indicating that the donation would go a long way in improving campus security and restoring the school’s integrity. He appealed for further support from other stakeholders to enhance teaching and learning at the school.
The intervention is part of Hon. Shirley Kyei’s broader agenda to promote quality education, youth development, and community safety. Her efforts have been widely recognized within the constituency, with many describing her as a results-oriented leader who prioritizes the needs of her people.
