Maxwell Blagodzi, Deputy Minister – Oti Region was the special guest of honor at the commissioning ceremony as he applauded the efforts of the new leadership of the VRA Resettlement Trust Fund secretariat for giving this beautiful edifice to the education sector in his region which will serve as motivation to the teachers that will be posted to this community to stay and give their all.

Nana Antwi Barimah, Board Chairman of the VRA Trust Fund in his address stated that this project is strategically given to the Grubi community to help put a stop to the frequent exist of teachers when posted here due to the Rural nature of the community which has less accommodation to host the teachers which is affecting the teachings and learning standards in the community school.

The board Chairman continued to assure the gathering that the trust fund secretariat under the able leadership of the Executive director, Mr. Richard Twum Barimah Koranteng is really committed to respond to the cries of the resettlers in the various resettlement communities as several projects are currently ongoing in most of their resettlement communities in the country.

He concluded by tasking the resettlers to own the expensively funded project as he advised the beneficiary institution which is the Ghana Education Service to take good care of the project to benefit the next generations.

The VRA Trust Fund secretariat officially signed the maiden project maintenance agreement with the Krachi Nchumuru District Assembly under the able leadership of Augustine Appiah – DCE, and the Grubi Town Development Committee who benefitted the new project regarding the aftermath maintenance protocols of the project which spells out the maintenance standing orders clearly.
