The Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors (CBOD), the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Bulk Oil Storage & Transportation Company (BOST) and Ghana Gas have sponsored the construction of a two-unit kindergarten school block in New Adjena.
The school block project including an auxiliary unit was commissioned by the Volta River Authority Resettlement Trust Fund on Thursday, August 27, 2020.
The school is expected to aid the education of children at the town located in the Asuogyaman district of the Eastern region.
The VRA is required to provide the Trust Fund with an annual grant for a developmental project for tens of resettlement townships surrounding.
Executive Director of the Fund, Richard Twum Barimah said the Fund sought external help due to budgetary constraints in order to complete the all-important project for the people of New Adjena, particularly school children.

The chairman of the commissioning ceremony, the Chief of Akwamu Adumasa, Nana Ansah Kwao IV in his brief remarks thanked all the sponsors for their support. He charged the VRA Trust Fund to take up more developmental projects for the township.
