The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Western North Region has expressed disappointment over what it describes as the neglect of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) projects, particularly the Sefwi Boako facility in the Sefwi Wiawso Municipality.
According to the party, the project was initiated to enhance technical and vocational skills development among the youth and to create employment opportunities in the area. However, it says progress on the facility has stalled, leaving residents worried about its future.
Speaking to the media, the Regional Communications Director, Addo Harry, urged government to prioritise the completion of the TVET centre, arguing that the facility would play a key role in equipping young people with practical skills needed for national development.
The New Patriotic Party has also called on the Minister for Education to clarify his recent statement in Parliament suggesting that Sefwi Boako would receive a new TVET project.
According to the party, an existing TVET facility in the community is already under construction but has been abandoned. It says residents deserve clarity on whether government intends to complete the stalled project or replace it with a new one.
The NPP is therefore urging the minister to provide clear information on the status of the abandoned facility and outline government’s plans for technical education in Sefwi Boako.
