The Upper East Regional Minister, Dr Hafiz Bin Salih, on Tuesday handed over a 500-bed capacity two-sto­rey girls' dormitory block to the Navrongo Senior High School (NAVASCO).

The ultra-modern 500-bed capacity facility, funded by the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GetFUND), has been furnished with beds, and has toilets and uri­nals attached.

Inaugurating the project in NAVASCO in the Navrongo Municipality of the the Upper East Region, the Regional Minister said the support was a testament to government's relentless resolve to tackling education infrastruc­ture deficit across the length and breadth of Ghana's north.

According to him, the Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo-led New Patriotic Party (NPP)  government from the outset, had made an unalloyed commitment to aggressively pursue educational infrastructure to give meaning to the implementation of the flagship Free Senior High School education policy.
