"The government through the leadership of the Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency, Hon. Elvis Morris Donkoh came to their aid in constructing a new classroom block but it has been left out. I am appealing to the government, philanthropists and other benevolent bodies to come to our aid for the good people of Mpredwo to have a quality education."
Speaking to NewsAfricaGh, the Obaahemaa of Anomabo Mpredwo, Nana Ekua Broba (I) mentioned that, the community needs massive projects to cushion the citizenry. She expressed that, the community lacks a CHPS compound which will enhance effective healthcare delivery as well as the needed teaching and learning materials for basic school, called on the government to allocate additional teaching staff to the town including teachers' bungalow, portal drinking water among others poses a significant challenge to the effective operation of the school and other activities in the community.
