Ghana National Gas Company Limited has handed over a 24-seater disability-friendly lavatory to the Agogo Presbyterian Women Training College of Education in the Asante Akyem North Municipality of the Ashanti region.
The construction of the facility was part of the company’s social investment policy which is aligned to the sustainable development goals that address good health and wellbeing, quality education, clean water and sanitation.
GBC’s Razak Baba reports that the construction of the disability-friendly lavatory followed an appeal to corporate Ghana by the Principal the Agogo Presbyterian Women Training College of Education, Reverend Dr. Mrs. Grace Sintim Adasi, to improve the general infrastructure situation in the all-female teacher institution and in particular to improve the hygiene situation in the college, which has a student population of about one thousand 800.
Ghana National Gas Company Limited responded swiftly to provide the lavatory. The facility is an upgrade to other sanitary facilities on campus. At a mini-durbar preceding the formal handing over of the newly-built facility, the Assistant Manager of Ghana National Gas Company, Mr. Kwabena Kharsa said the company is poised to ensure a clean society and healthy individuals.
The Principal of the College, Rev. Dr. Mrs. Grace Sintim Adasi said as an all-female institution, ”hygiene and proper well-being is critical to maintaining a healthy environment on campus”, and assured that Management would ensure the proper maintenance of the facility.
