Member of the National Economic Dialogue (NED) Planning Committee, Ernest De-Graft Egyire, has donated a modern 10-seater water closet toilet facility to his alma mater, Saltpond Methodist “A” Basic School.
The facility was handed over to the school to improve sanitation and provide a better environment for teaching and learning.
According to Mr. De-Graft Egyire, the project forms part of a commitment he made four years ago to support the school where his educational journey began.
“It is a great honour and privilege to stand before you as an old boy of this great school. Returning to Saltpond Methodist Basic ‘A’ School always fills me with gratitude because this is where my educational journey began,” he said.
“This school shaped my character, nurtured my dreams, and gave me the foundation upon which I have built my life and career.”
He said the new facility would provide a healthier and more dignified environment for both pupils and teachers.
“Quality education is not only about classrooms and books, it is also about providing facilities that protect the health, well-being, and dignity of our children,” he stated.
Mr. De-Graft Egyire also thanked the Methodist Church Ghana for its contribution to education, saying he was proud to be one of the beneficiaries of its legacy.
He urged pupils to study hard, respect their teachers and take good care of the facility.
“Protect it, keep it clean, and use it responsibly. It has been built for your benefit and for those who will come after you,” he said.
