Plans are in place to restore power to our schools – Ajumako Enyan Essiam district education directorate

The Ajumako Enyan Easiam district education directorate has said that there are plans to restore power to all five 5 Senior High Schools in their jurisdiction.

Speaking with Mr. Daniel Annoni the PRO of Ajumako Enyan Essiam education directorate on Plan B FM morning show NKOSOUNSEM, he explained that the bills were supposed to be settled by the government but unfortunately, things did not work out and have led to the disconnection of power by ECG, but he assured that discussions are in place with ECG to restore power to the affected schools.

Students in public Senior High Schools in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District of the Central Region have been thrown into a state of discomfort after the Electricity Company of Ghana disconnected power to the schools over a debt owed to the power company.

All five Senior High Schools in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District are said to be owing ECG for several years.

Final Year Students who reported to their various Schools in the District on Monday, April 17, 20223 had to sleep in total darkness on campus.

The affected Senior High Schools are Mondo Senior High Technical School, Bisease Senior High School, Enyan Denkyira Senior Technical School, Enyan Abaasa Technical Institute, and Enyan Maim Community Day Senior High School all in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District.

The unavailability of power has affected the learning of the final-year students who are preparing for their upcoming external examination as they are unable to study in the evening.

They have called on their parents to provide them with solar lamps and other forms of lights with which they can learn.

The worried students are afraid they may be bitten by snakes, scorpions, or other poisonous animals in the evening when darkness consumed their various campuses.

Some of the students are appealing to the government, philanthropists, and Old Students of the affected schools to support their former schools to pay their electricity debt else it will be difficult for the institutions to settle their debts for re-connection.
