The West Africa Senior Secondary School Old Students Association (WASSOSA 1978) has donated 60 dining table sets to their alma mater last Monday.
This gesture was to help alleviate the burden of the school.
The donation was witnessed by Isaac Okai, a two-time immediate board member of the 1978 year group; Dr. Solomon Anum, former Deputy Director of the Ghana Geological Survey; Rev. Moses Ocquaye Nortey, Senior Pastor of All Souls Baptist Church, South La and David Ofori Acheampong, former General Secretary of GNAT, among others.
The Headmistress of the school, Dr. Mrs. Shine Agatha Ofori, expressed gratitude to the old students for the gesture.
She recounted how the 1978 alumni visited the school on July 4, and upon observing the students’ lack of adequate dining tables, pledged to provide the necessary support.
Dr Ofori emphasised that the impact of the donation has been immediate and profound.
“The once-empty space where students queued for food, clutching their meals in hand, is now bustling with activity. With the provision of proper dining facilities, students can now enjoy their meals in a dignified manner.”
“Furthermore, the school’s canteen has transformed into a multi-functional space, serving not only as a dining area but also as a communal gathering spot,” she stated.
The President of WASSOSA, Dr. David Odoi, hailed the donation as the beginning of a promising new chapter for the school.
He outlined plans for future projects, including the construction of a boys’ dormitory, underscoring the ongoing commitment of the alumni to support their alma mater’s growth and development.
The Chairman of the 1978 WASSOSA year group, Seth Boye Laryea, highlighted the continuous support provided by the alumni, citing their involvement in events such as the school’s 70th Speech and prize-giving day.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
