Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin South Constituency, Rev John Ntim Fordjour, has appealed to the Mahama administration to work on uncompleted projects in the Assin South District of the Central Region.  

He made the appeal at the 68th Independence Day Celebration at Assin Darmang in Assin South, on the theme: "Reflect, Review and Reset."  

Four basic schools, two senior high schools, two cadet corps and a regimental band participated in the parade.  

He mentioned some of the projects such as Agenda 111 Hospital, the model STEM educational complex in the district, as well as continuing with the Free SHS initiative.  

He said plans were underway to build a Fire Service Station in the district.  

The coordinating director, Richard Ansah Amoafo, said the district would work together despite differences, fostering an environment of understanding and respect and embracing each other’s view for a common goal.  

In addition, he noted that residents must commit themselves to the values that have always defined the district: hard work, resilience, community spirit, among others.  

He pledged the Assembly’s commitment to continuously work closely with all departments and agencies, traditional leaders and residents in the district to drive progress, innovation and growth.  

The District Director of Education, Isaac Opoku Inkoom, noted that the reset agenda was very important, saying it should be in attitude, mindset and actions.  

He said all should take a new path where necessary and not do things the same way and expect new outcomes but be more responsible and accountable and to develop a sense of patriotism.  

Ghana became the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence in 1957.  

Dr Kwame Nkrumah, who led the successful negotiations with the British colonial government and declared independence on March 6, 1957, became the first Prime Minister and then President in 1960.
