The Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE) for Sekondi Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly (STMA), Mr Abdul Mumin Issah has expressed displeasure with schools and institutions that benefited from 5,000 fruit trees.
According to the MCE, the STMA as part of its Twin Cities in Sustainable Partnership Project (TCSPP) planted over 5000 fruit trees in various schools and Institutions to meet its goal of ensuring food security and greening the metropolis.
Unfortunately, most of the trees have perished due to lack of care and naturing for these trees by authorities at the beneficiary schools and Institutions
A situation which Mr Abdul Mumin Isaiah describes as disappointing.
The Mayor made this known during a press conference which was held at the Assembly to update the media on some developments achieved under the TCSPP).
“The level of care and maintenance to nurture the trees are appalling, the project team will continue to engage those schools and institutions,” the MCE indicated.
However, Mr Abdul Mumin Issah highlighted some success chalked as the project is in its final stage.
He explains the Assembly is currently building 500 household biodigesters, as if that is not enough, with the help of the project, the Assembly has constructed three reproductive health centres across the metropolis
