The 1994 year Group of Ejisu Senior High Technical School (ESHTS) has donated 104 mono desks to their alma mater to improve teaching and learning.
Mr Annor Frimpong, President of the Group, said the gesture was influenced by observation made during a recent visit to the school 30 years after completion, which did not augur well for teaching and learning.
According to him, the students were paired to a mono desk, a situation he said motivated them to embark on the furniture project to ensure that their sitting condition improved.
He advised the students to take their studies seriously by making friends with their books to enable them come out with flying colours and become responsible adults to contribute their quota to the socioeconomic development of the school and country as a whole.
Madam Grace Asamani, the Headmistress of the school, who received the furniture, expressed the school’s gratitude to the 1994 year group for the kind gesture.
She pleaded with other old students of the school to emulate the example of the group to contribute and support the school in terms of infrastructure and academics to make the school one of the best in the country.
She said the school was behind in terms of infrastructural facilities and other logistics to improve teaching and learning on campus.
She appealed to stakeholders to help the school with a dormitory for boys and girls, school bus and teacher bungalows to house most of them on campus, adding that only three teachers were housed on campus.

Abu Trica’s extradition case: Prophets, fetish priests demand pay for spiritual solution …Lawyer reveals
Mr Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a lawyer for embattled Frederick Kumi, affectionately called Abu Trica and has made a shocking revelation over the behaviour of some members of the clergy.
According to him in a post on social media, the difficult part of Abu Trica’s trial is not the law but the number of ‘Men of God’ and fetish priests demanding financial sacrifices to help resolve the matter spiritually.
Oliver Barker-Vormawor posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2026, “The most difficult part about the Abu Trica case; is not the law.”
He continued: “It is the number of, prophetesses, evangelists and fetish priests, who have called or messaged to ask us to pay for spiritual solutions.”
It would be recalled that in March this year, the Gbese District Court dismissed a preliminary objection filed by Abu Trica, challenging the extradition proceedings initiated at the request of the United States.
The court, presided over by Anna Akosua Appiah Gottfried Anaafi Gyasi, in its ruling held that the offences forming the basis of the extradition, particularly wire fraud, constitute extraditable offences under the 1931 treaty between Ghana and the United States.
He was then given 15 days counting from March 27 to appeal the decision of the court or be surrendered for extradition to the US.
Against this backdrop, he was on Tuesday, April 22, granted a bail in the sum of GH¢30,000,000 by an Accra High, pending the appeal of his extradition
Mr Kumi was arrested in Ghana in December 2025 following an indictment by United States authorities, alleging that he played a role in a romance scam network that defrauded elderly American victims of more than $8 million.
