SOD-CUTTING DRIVE IN ADENTAN- LED BY THE MCE, MP

Tracy (MIS) — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 13:26:40 +0000

The Adentan Municipal Assembly embarked on a coordinated sod cutting programme across the municipality to deliver new classroom blocks, health facility upgrades and a 13-borehole potable water rollout; these projects are positioned to relieve pressure on overcrowded schools, strengthen primary health access and reduce water insecurity while carrying clear local political benefits for municipal leadership and the MP.
Overview of work and immediate public impact
The Assembly launched sod cutting at Amrahia Community Basic School, Amrahia Health Center, Otanor Community Basic School, Adentan Community Basic School, Ashaley Botwe Health Center, and Ashiyie Community Basic School. Key project highlights: Amrahia — 2 storey, 6 unit classroom block; Amrahia Health Center — 2 storey health block with staff bungalow; Otanor — 18 unit classroom block; Adentan — 3 storey, 18 unit classroom block; Ashaley Botwe — perimeter fence and landscaping; Ashiyie — 2-unit KG classroom block; and a municipal wide 13 borehole drilling and mechanical installation scheduled within six months. These interventions are expected to reduce classroom overcrowding, improve maternal and child health access, and expand reliable potable water for households and schools.

Policy and Political analysis
The Education projects (Amrahia, Otanor, Adentan, Ashiyie) signifies a lot.
In the policy effects, this sector is to look at large classroom blocks which will directly address capacity constraints and can improve pupil teacher ratios and learning environments. This comes with political effect where visible school construction is high salience for constituents with short term credit accrues to the Assembly and the MP for delivering tangible benefits to families and teachers. Hon. Ella Christine Esinam Nongo noted, “These classroom blocks will ease overcrowding and create safer, more conducive learning spaces for our children.” The scale at Adentan (3 storey, 18 units) and Otanor (18 units) signals a municipal commitment to long term education infrastructure.
In the Health projects (Amrahia Health Center; Ashaley Botwe Health Center), it is an ultra-modern edifice portraying a policy effect of a two-storey health block with staff accommodation strengthens service continuity and staff retention again, fencing and landscaping at Ashaley Botwe protect public assets and improve patient safety. This project also has political impact on Health investments are politically potent across demographics; it has a broader appeal beyond school age households to older constituents and working families. Hon. Mohamed Ramandan emphasized: “Upgrading our health facilities shows that representation translates into better care at the community level.”
However, Water infrastructure (13 boreholes municipal wide) will reduce shortage of water challenges in the municipality. It also has policy effect of distributing boreholes to reduce reliance on unsafe sources, lower household water costs, and support school sanitation. The political impact is to deliver water projects immediate, get measurable relief and can shift public sentiment quickly in favour of the Assembly if implemented transparently and equitably.

Community effects and risks
The positive outcome is to improve learning conditions; shorter travel times to health care; safer and cleaner water; job creation during construction.
The risks and challenges are to avoid delays in procurement, weak maintenance plans, or uneven geographic allocation could erode public trust. Community engagement and clear maintenance funding are essential to sustain benefits.
Conclusion and outlook
The Assembly’s package combines high visibility education and health investments with essential water infrastructure; this is an effective mix for public welfare and political capital. Sustained impact will depend on timely delivery, transparent contracting, and robust operations/maintenance plans, as both Hon. Nongo and Hon. Ramandan pledged to prioritize during the sod cutting ceremonies.

ADENTAN MCE LEAD COMPREHENSIVE REVENUE MOBILIZATION EXERCISE

Tracy (MIS) — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 11:35:47 +0000

The Adentan Municipal Assembly has rolled out a vigorous revenue mobilization exercise aimed at collecting all outstanding revenues owed to the Assembly. The initiative covers property rates, business operating permits, temporary structural permits, and other statutory levies.
The exercise, which commenced after weeks of preparation, was meticulously planned to ensure efficiency and transparency. All field officers, including task force personnel and revenue collectors, underwent training to familiarize themselves with the operational model to be used during the exercise.
Ahead of the mobilization, the Information Van Crew, led by Nii Adotey Saka, carried out an extensive public education and sensitization campaign across the municipality. This effort was designed to create awareness and encourage voluntary compliance before the enforcement teams began their work.
The main team spearheading the exercise is composed of the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Ella Christine Esinam Nongo, the Municipal Coordinating Director, Mr. Seth Anim Boadi, the Municipal Finance Officer, the Revenue Officer, the Internal Auditor, the Budget Analyst, and other key officials.
Speaking during the takeoff of the exercise, Hon. Ella Christine Esinam Nongo emphasized the importance of revenue mobilization in strengthening the Assembly’s capacity to deliver on its mandate.
“This exercise is not just about collecting money; it is about ensuring that every resident and business contributes their fair share to the development of Adentan. The Assembly relies on these revenues to improve infrastructure, sanitation, health, and education services. We are determined to reach every corner of the municipality to achieve our revenue targets for the year,” she stated.
The Municipal Coordinating Director, Mr. Seth Anim Boadi, also underscored the Assembly’s commitment to accountability and fairness in the process.
“We have put in place measures to ensure that the mobilization is carried out professionally and transparently. Every officer has been trained to engage respectfully with the public while enforcing compliance. Our goal is to build trust and demonstrate that the revenues collected will be used responsibly to benefit the entire municipality,” Mr. Boadi assured.
In a related development, the Adentan Municipal Assembly has intensified its revenue mobilization strategies by embarking on night toll collection across key locations within the municipality. This initiative forms part of efforts to meet the Assembly’s projected revenue target for the year.
The night exercise has already taken the team to areas such as Nmai Dzorn School Junction and the Nmai Dzorn Melcom area, with plans to extend operations to other strategic points including Mr. Bond (opposite the West Africa Senior High School), the Taxi Rank, Rowi Junction Lane, and the Amrahia–Katamanso Junction, among others.
According to the Municipal Coordinating Director, Mr. Seth Amin Boadi, the night toll collection is designed to capture revenue sources that are often missed during daytime operations, particularly from hawkers and stationary businesses that operate late into the evening.
Municipal Chief Executive Hon. Ella Christine Esinam Nongo reiterated the Assembly’s commitment to innovative approaches in revenue mobilization, noting that the night toll collection complements the ongoing property rate and business permit drive.
“We are determined to leave no stone unturned in mobilizing the resources needed to drive development in Adentan. The night toll collection is a strategic measure to ensure fairness and inclusivity, as many operators are active beyond regular working hours,” she explained.
The Assembly has projected that the exercise will significantly boost its revenue base, enabling it to undertake more developmental projects across Adentan. The mobilization team has pledged to visit every nook and cranny of the municipality to ensure no revenue source is left untapped.

Farmers’ Day 2025: Feed Ghana, Eat Ghana, Secure the Future

Tracy (MIS) — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 11:29:35 +0000

Rosemund Adjeoda has urged collective action to transform Ghana’s agricultural sector as she addressed the 41st Farmers’ Day celebration under the theme “Feed Ghana, Eat Ghana, Secure the Future.” Speaking to farmers, local officials and stakeholders, Ms Adjeoda outlined the objectives of the Feed Ghana Programme (FGP) and set out the municipal assembly’s commitments to boost domestic food production and reduce reliance on imports.

The FGP, she said, aims to modernise agriculture, increase production of staples, vegetables, livestock and industrial crops, supply raw materials to agro‑industries and create sustainable employment. The assembly, through the Department of Agriculture, pledged to mobilise small, medium and large‑scale farmers to adopt climate‑smart practices and to make full use of mechanisation centres, improved inputs and extension services provided under the programme.

Ms Adjeoda called on farmers, youth, women, agribusinesses, local institutions and financial partners to commit to the transformation, stressing that coordinated effort and discipline would help secure national food security, reduce food inflation and support agro‑industry.

Extension services and outreach

The Department of Agriculture currently employs 18 staff, including six Agricultural Extension Officers, and is awaiting national service personnel to bolster extension delivery. To date, 3,145 agricultural value‑chain actors — including farmers, fishers, processors, dealers and aggregators — have been reached with improved technologies and good agricultural practices.

Unlike the previous year, favourable weather during both major and minor seasons, together with timely fertiliser supplies under the Feed Ghana Programme, produced improved crop performance and higher yields, Ms Adjeoda reported.

Training and community work

In partnership with Holland Greentech, the department organised training for staff, farmers and community members on modern vegetable production techniques. The sessions covered integrated pest management, good agronomic practice and crop nutrition, and were designed to increase fresh‑vegetable consumption, promote sustainable livelihoods and strengthen food security in the municipality. The department also conducted 100 home and farm visits to support farmers directly.

Animal health and household sensitisation

As part of World Rabies Day activities, the department carried out rabies education in three junior high schools — Amrahia Adma School, Sowah Din Memorial and Adentan Community JHS — reaching 1,867 teachers and pupils. Vaccinations were administered to 400 poultry, 28 goats, 5 cats, 13 dogs, 2 sheep and 4 rabbits, while staff conducted passive surveillance during farm and household visits.

The department further sensitised 243 households on nutrient conservation and home gardening, including 63 households on organic compost and manure, 54 farmers on vegetable production, 15 women on backyard vegetable gardening and 44 farmers on improved housing for poultry and small ruminants.

Ms Adjeoda concluded by commending the municipality’s farmers for their dedication and urged renewed commitment to the Feed Ghana agenda, saying that, together, stakeholders could build a food‑secure future for all. She extended congratulations to the farmers and invoked a blessing for continued prosperity.
