He said, upon hearing their plights, he spoke with a friend who gave him a hint that the Japanese Government can be of help if he writes a proposal to them which he did with his team at the assembly.
He further disclosed that the Government of Japan was supposed to build such project in 5 district across the country so he saw the need and lobbied for South Tongu to also benefit from it.

He charged the School Authorities to put to good use what has been given to them and ensure that they take care of it to last.
