District Chief
Executive for Wassa East, Hon. Anthony E. Aggrey
The District Chief Executive for Wassa
East, Hon. Anthony Emmanuel Aggrey has said “Ghana is one nation that belongs
to all of us and not any particular group of persons and therefore we need to
work in unity to ensure that the better Ghana we all dream of is achieved. He
made this statement at the 57th Independence Day celebration held at
the St. Martin’s School Park at Daboase.
Speaking on the theme for this year’s
celebration “building a better and prosperous Ghana through patriotism and
national unity”, Hon. Aggrey said the theme is not only timely but very
appropriate. He said if we cast our minds some few year back we would remember
that Ghanaians showed a great deal of enthusiasm, exhibited unity of purpose
and a sense of responsibility to this nation but in recent times however the
situation is very different and Ghanaians are gradually departing from living
for our nation.
He therefore entreated everyone of us to
change our attitudes and participate actively in programmes and activities that
would leave a lasting legacy like what we are celebrating today for posterity
to also enjoy and cherish and by so doing our children would imbibe these
qualities so that they grow up as the responsible adults that we would want to
bequeath Wassa East District and mother Ghana to.
About eight schools both Primary and
J.H.S and one senior high participated in the march past. The schools were
Sekeyere Aboaboso D/A, St. Martin’s Anglican, S.I.P.L, Kakokrom D/A, Dompim
No.1, Daboase D/A, T.I Ahmadiyya, Krofofrom D/A and Daboase S.H.S,
The audience was treated with a
colourful cultural display by pupils of S.I.P.L Primary. Best students who
excelled in last year’s BECE were awarded with certificates and an undisclosed
amount of cash.
Also the most improved schools were not
left out. Prato No. 1 D/A J.H.S emerged the best. For the march past at the
primary level these schools S.I.P.L, St. Martins Anglican and Kakokrom D/A
emerged the first, second and third respectively. For the Junior High section
St. Martins JHS came first, followed by S.I.P.L and Daboase D/A JHS.
The parade was commanded by the Daboase
Senior High School cadet and it was a spectacular performance they put up that
day.
On the whole the event was very
colourful and successful.
