The projects were; six-unit classroom block for Abakobon M/A Primary, which was built from the Assembly’s common fund and a kindergarten block for the Juaso M/A Primary with funding from the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFUND).

He said the role of teachers in quality education could not be undermined, adding that, teachers did not deserve to be attacked while rendering core services.
He therefore entreated community members to give teachers maximum support when they were training their own children for them and refrain from such attacks at the least provocation.

He gave the assurance that the Assembly would evenly spread development projects across the Municipality, but stressed the need for proper maintenance of the facilities.
Owosoadoto Oduro Frimpong, the Kyidomhene of Juaso praised government for the provision of the kindergarten block, which he said was a sour
