The Governing Council of Asokore College of Education in the New Juaben North Municipality of the Eastern Region has commended the Principal, Professor William Koomson for the infrastructural development he has brought to the institution since assuming office.
The Chairman of the Governing Council who also doubles as President of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, Accra, Pastor Dr. Thomas Techie Occran, said the massive infrastructural projects being undertaken in the College within the shortest time were commendable.
He said “It takes a committed, hardworking and selfless leader like the current Principal to be able to transform a College like the Asokore College of Education which was faced with infrastructural deficit in the time past to its current state”.
Leading the council to inspect some projects within the school, the Principal, Professor Koomson said that some of the projects were awarded on contract by the government but had been abandoned by the contractor since 2012.
“Since I know the legalities attached to these projects, I contacted the contractor handling the project and he told me he was no longer interested and so I took it up and used the school’s internally generated fund (IGF) to complete the school library and the Resources Center which can be used to hold conferences”, he said.
Other inspected projects include a completed ladies’ dormitory, the rehabilitated dormitory blocs, and a hair dressing salon as well as some other ongoing projects aimed at providing good learning environment for the trainee teachers.
Pastor T.T Occran in his remarks said the effort by the authorities to develop the college in their own way was appreciated, adding that it was an indication of their commitment to provide enabling environment for their students to enhance academic excellence.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
