Moses Akuffo, Headmaster of the Anyaa M/A School, Mr. Eric Assuming and other Hheads of Departments on progress of work.

The Quantity Surveyor from WIFA Builder Limited, Mr. Emmanuel T. Afotey, focussed on the assessment of current stage and quality of construction work including verification of project timeline, while stating funding as their challenge.

The MCE expressed satisfaction at work executed so far which appeared consistent with standard construction practices. He said, materials and labour used on site indicated that the contractor is complying with expected quality standards.

“No major structural defects have been identified at this stage; however, continuous monitoring is necessary to ensure that quality is maintained throughout all phases of the project”, the MCE reiterated. He assured them of prompt payments if all documentations are completed.

The headmaster, Mr. Assuming, expressed satisfaction with the pace of work and acknowledged the visible progress made. He however requested an additional water storage unit from the construction firm as part of their corporate social responsibility.
