On her part, Madam Owusu-Sekyere stated that the Tower, which served as an iconic symbol of the school for over 50 years and housed the school bell, the timer of the school, had seen little to no repair works. Its deteriorating state posed a significant risk to staff, students, parents, and visitors to the school.
