CONSTRUCTION works on a new library block at Ntotroso and the renovation of a four-unit classroom block for the Ntotroso Primary School have been completed at an estimated cost of ¢30,000 and GH¢25,000 respectively.
Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (NGGL), operating the Ahafo Mine, contributed substantially towards the successful completion of the two projects.
Speaking at the inauguration of the projects at Ntotroso, in the Asutifi District in the Brong Ahafo Region, the Community Development Superintendent of Newmont Ahafo Project, Mr Joseph Danso, said his company considered education and human resource development as a very essential component of the overall development of its host communities.
He stressed that “one of our key values as a company is to develop our people in pursuit of excellence and we as a company will continue to strive to be a role model corporate citizen”.
Mr Danso gave the assurance that Newmont would continue to listen and provide assistance to its host communities and other district stakeholders and strengthen the already cordial relationship that existed between them.
He called for the setting up of a committee or a board to see to the management and regular maintenance of the projects so that they would last longer for more children to benefit.
Mr Danso disclosed that last month the company hand a four-unit teachers’ quarters to Dokyikrom after another handing over of a new classroom block for the community.
