The Deputy Education Minister used the occasion to donate 15 pianos to some senior high schools in the area and stationery to some Basic Schools to boost effective teaching and learning in their schools.

The Odikro of Gomoa Akropong, Nana Odum Amanfo IV, commended the people of the area for their support towards the maintenance of peace in the town and called for them to maintain the peace in the area.
