The items include 180 dual desks, 12 teachers’ tables, 112 library chairs, 18 library tables, two file cabinets, 12 bookshelves and three notice boards.

Hohoe Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Andrews Teddy Ofori who supervised the distribution and visited some of the beneficiaries gave the assurance that more furniture would be provided.

He noted that the distribution was made based on the needs of the schools after a study carried out in the municipality.
