Sammi Awuku gets sports courts for Okuapeman

The Director General of National Lottery Authority (NLA), Sammi Awuku, on Tuesday, May 30 2023, broke grounds for the construction of basketball and volleyball courts for the Okuapeman school in Akropong.

This was in fulfillment of an appeal made to Mr. Awuku by Osabarima  Ansah Sasraku III, Mamfehene and Kyidomhene of the Akuapem Traditional area.

“I am excited to be here not just as a guest, but as a true son of Akuapem land and this gesture was just the beginning of the relationship between Okuapeman Senior High School and myself,” Mr Awuku said.

He noted further: “As a true son of Okuapeman, I am more than committed to supporting the development of our communities and the youth, and strengthening relationships with our institutions and leaders.”

Mr. Awuku further asked that the facility when completed be named after Osabarima Ansah Sasraku III for his exceptional leadership and commitment towards the development of the school.

The Headmaster of Okuapeman School, Rev. Daniel Afari thanked Mr. Sammi Awuku for his continuous support towards education in the municipality and indicated that the facilities have come very timely, and will go a long way to serve the school and the good people of Akuapem.

On his part, Osabarima Ansah Sasraku III was grateful for the honour done to him by Mr Awuku and was quick to add that, the contractor meets the timelines so that the students benefit from its purpose.

In another development, Mr Awuku is constructing an astroturf in Akropong, roofing and ceiling of Akropong Salem School.
