MTN Ghana provide a 24 unit classroom block for the Police Education System

MTN Ghana has given the Ghana Police Service’s Depot School in Tesano, Accra, a 24-unit classroom block. A Nursery and Kindergarten, a Primary School Department, and a Junior High School Department serve a student population of around 2,500 within the GHS 3.4 million complexes.

“Our enthusiasm for taking on this project was motivated by our understanding that the school has been running from a colonial, weak, and decaying edifice with no good washroom facilities, library, or ICT laboratory,” MTN Ghana CEO Selorm Adadevoh stated at the occasion. I’m honored to be here today to present the Ghana Police Force with this 24-unit classroom block.

It’s reassuring to know that an 18-month investment of time, finances, and effort has resulted in the construction of this lovely new classroom complex for the Police Depot School,” Selorm Adadevoh stated.

The new building will relieve the present strain on the school and its catchment region, as well as provide a more pleasant teaching and learning environment,” he added.
