Management, staff and students of the Peki Senior High School in the South Dayi District have been urged to take adequate care of the newly refurbished 21-unit classroom block by the old students
The project management Committee chairman, Dr Collins Kafui Azah, at the handing over ceremony and 66th Founders Day, noted that the 21-unit block was left to rot since its inception 40 years ago and has not seen any form of renovation work hence the need for the old students both he and abroad to come together with their resources to have the block renovated.
Dr Collins Kafui Azah noted that the Peki Senior High School urgently needs a total face-lift to help improve the educational needs of the students.
