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 volleyball, tennis, netball, basketball, and handball activities.
Mr. Boachie, in his address to the enthusiastic crowd, described the project as a dream come true 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 said.
He said it marked the beginning of a series of developments aimed at transforming communities.
He disclosed that the GH¢53,000 project represents the first phase of a broader plan to expand access to sports and recreational facilities throughout the Bosome Freho District.
He urged residents, especially the youth, to adopt a strong maintenance culture to protect the investment.
The event was also marked by the commissioning of a six-seater biodigester toilet facility at the Dunkura R/C Primary School.
The project was a donation from the family of the late Obaapanin Catherine A. Boatemaa, made in her loving memory to promote hygiene and sanitation among school children.
Teachers, pupils, and parents alike praised the gesture, noting its importance in improving health and learning conditions at the school.
In a show of support for women’s empowerment, Mr. Boachie also donated hair dryers and sewing machines to some women in the area.
The items are expected to help recipients start or expand their small businesses, ultimately contributing to the local economy.
Sanitation in the community also received a major boost, thanks to Mr. Godfred Acheampong, Project Director of the Rotary Club of Obuasi, who donated 50 waste bins to the Assembly Member.
The donation was aimed at supporting the ongoing sanitation initiatives being spearheaded by Mr. Boachie across the Dunkura area.
The occasion was graced by a large turnout, including traditional authorities, Senior High School students, basic school pupils, and residents.
