A newly built canteen has been commissioned for the University of Ghana Basic School, Legon pupils.

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Professor Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, was the guest of honour, with other prominent personalities gracing the occasion.

She said the project was funded by the Parent Teacher Association (PTA).

“It is worthy to note that this canteen project which includes a kitchen and a 500-capacity eating area, was wholly funded by the PTA,” she noted.

She also lauded all stakeholders who contributed to the realisation of the project for the school.

“Sincere appreciation to both past and present parents and guardians, including myself, for the support in raising the needed funds for the execution of this project,” she stated.

“I applaud the efforts of past PTA chairpersons, the current PTA chairperson and executives for their resilience, providing the needed administrative support and having oversight responsibility for the construction and completion of this beautiful project,” she added.

The headmaster of Basic School, Alfred Codjoe-Allotey, thanked all the stakeholders and promised to put the facility to good use.

“As a team managing the school, we promise to conform and keep up in our canteen operations,” he said.

The leader of the PTA disclosed that it cost them 1,114,499.10 to put up the facility.
