Dunkura: Mr. Boachie De-Graft Maxwell, Assembly Member for the December Dunkura Electoral Area, has commissioned a state-of-the-art sports complex and other infrastructure projects at Dunkura in the Bosome Freho District. The newly commissioned sports facility, named the Nana Antwi Bosiako I Sports Complex, is the first of its kind in the entire Bosome Freho District. It is equipped with two multi-purpose courts capable of hosting activities such as volleyball, tennis, netball, basketball, and handball.

According to Ghana News Agency, Mr. Boachie, in his address to the crowd, described the project as a significant development for the youth of Dunkura and beyond. ‘This facility is not just about sports, it is about giving the youth a reason to dream, to train, and to excel,’ he stated. The GHS53,000 project represents the first phase of a broader plan to expand access to sports and recreational facilities throughout the district.

The event also witnessed the commissioning of a six-seater biodigester toilet facility at the Dunkura R/C Primary School. The project, a donation from the family of the late Obaapanin Catherine A. Boatemaa, was made in her memory to promote hygiene and sanitation among school children. Teachers, pupils, and parents praised the gesture for its role in improving health and learning conditions at the school.

In support of women’s empowerment, Mr. Boachie donated hair dryers and sewing machines to women in the area. These items are intended to help recipients start or expand their small businesses, contributing to the local economy.

Sanitation initiatives in the community were further supported by Mr. Godfred Acheampong, Project Director of the Rotary Club of Obuasi, who donated 50 waste bins to the Assembly Member. This donation aims to bolster sanitation efforts spearheaded by Mr. Boachie across Dunkura.

The occasion was marked by a large turnout, including traditional authorities, Senior High School students, basic school pupils, and residents.
