Responding to an appeal for transportation and logistical assistance, the MP presented an amount of Three Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH¢3,000.00) to support the school’s participation in the competition.
Hon. Zuwera also announced her plans to expand and enhance educational infrastructure in the constituency. She outlined upcoming projects, including upgrades to ICT facilities, science laboratories, classroom blocks, and accommodation at Salaga Senior High School and T. I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School.
