The Municipal chief Executive, Nii Ephraim, who made these known at forum in Winneba, said with support from Government, the assembly also constructed 10 school buildings and two teachers’ quarters and distributed 562 tables and chairs to basic schools.

The forum attracted traditional authorities, Unit Committee members, woman groups, People Leaving with Disabilities, heads of department, assembly members and other opinion leaders.
